Pieter Tanjé

Pieter Tanjé belongs to the tradition of Dutch reproductive engraving, working in burin on copper to translate painted and drawn compositions into precise linear prints. His subjects range across classical mythology and allegory, as in a hero crowned by Victory while Venus, Cupid, and Envy occupy the surrounding scene. The archive holds a single sheet by this artist, executed in engraving and dated 1735, with impressions up to that year.
