About this artwork
Although the son of a glass painter and a studentof Hendrik Goltzius, the Haarlem Mannerist and miniature portraitist, Jacques de Gheyn created his own bold style that was based on an empirical study of nature. His work represents an important transitional period between the late Renaissance and seventeenth-century Holland.
