Karel van Mander was a significant Mannerist painter, an important man of letters, and the Netherlands’ first historian of art. In 1583 he and Hendrik Goltzius created an artistic academy in Haarlem. The most distinguished of its many students, and Goltzius’s greatest follower, was Jacob de Gheyn II. A very rare masterpiece of his maturity, this series reproduces drawings by Van Mander in a style surpassing Goltzius’s in responsiveness of line and fluidness of description.
