Last updated

Johan Danckerts (c. 1616, The Hague - 19 October 1686, Haarlem) [1] was a Dutch etcher and painter.

In 1631, Danckerts entered the guild of St. Luke at the Hague, of which he was dean from 1650 to 1652. [2] In 1653 he went to Rome where he stayed until 1658. In that year he moved to England for 18 years. After returning to The Hague, he spent the last years of his life in Amsterdam and Haarlem. [1]

He painted historical subjects and portraits, and made some of the designs for the plates which Wenceslaus Hollar engraved for Robert Stapylton's edition of Juvenal, published in 1660. Hollar engraved also after him a head of John Price, the biblical critic. He likewise etched a few plates, including Venus reclining, after Titian, and an Embarkation of Merchandise. [2]

Johan was the older brother of Hendrick Danckerts. [1] [2]

Old master print

An old master print is a work of art produced by a printing process within the Western tradition. The term remains current in the art trade, and there is no easy alternative in English to distinguish the works of "fine art" produced in printmaking from the vast range of decorative, utilitarian and popular prints that grew rapidly alongside the artistic print from the 15th century onwards. Fifteenth-century prints are sufficiently rare that they are classed as old master prints even if they are of crude or merely workmanlike artistic quality. A date of about 1830 is usually taken as marking the end of the period whose prints are covered by this term.
