Rombout Eynhoudts
Rombout Eynhoudts belongs to the seventeenth-century Netherlandish printmaking tradition, working primarily as an etcher of religious subjects drawn from the lives of the saints and from biblical and moralizing history. His plates favour crowded, architecturally framed scenes, as in the gateway thronged with Saint Gregory and attendant saints, or the vestibule shared by Saints Peter and Paul, and the sharp linearity of etching suits their narrative density. This archive holds four of his sheets, three of them pure etchings and one an etching in its third state, with impressions up to 1636 per the Met's dating. Together they offer a compact sample of his small, finely worked devotional output.
