Willem Panneels

Willem Panneels is a Flemish printmaker of the seventeenth century whose small, finely worked etchings circle around religious narrative and mythological revelry. His sheets move between saints and angels—Cecilia at her keyboard, Agnes with palm and lamb, Sebastian crowned by heavenly attendants—and the boisterous retinue of the drunken Silenus. The archive gathers thirteen of his prints, chiefly etchings issued in their second state, alongside a single engraving and one earlier impression, in states dating to the years around 1620 to 1632, with impressions up to that span.
