Clement de Jonghe: A Master of Prints and Engravings Step into the world of Clement de Jonghe, a renowned printseller and engraver from the 17th century. Known for his exceptional craftsmanship, he left an indelible mark on the art world with his intricate works. One of his notable creations is "Drunkenness of Bacchus, " a masterpiece collaboration with Jonas Suyderhoef and Pieter Soutman. This captivating piece depicts the wild revelry associated with Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. De Jonghe's attention to detail brings this scene to life, capturing every expression and movement in stunning clarity. In another work titled "View of the Louvre and the Tuileries, " part of his series "Views of Paris and Neighborhoods, " plate 1 transports us to the heart of France's capital city. With meticulous precision, De Jonghe captures every architectural detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this iconic landscape. De Jonghe also delved into biblical themes through copies such as "Joseph and Potiphar's Wife. " While its original creator remains unknown, De Jonghe's skillful reproduction preserves its essence beautifully. Similarly, he recreated scenes like "Joseph Telling His Dreams to Jacob" and "Joseph Interpreting Pharaoh's Dreams, " showcasing his ability to breathe new life into ancient stories. The artist's versatility shines through in pieces like "View of Venice. " Although its creator remains anonymous too, De Jonghe masterfully captures Venice's unique charm during the mid-17th century. Through delicate strokes and impeccable composition choices, he transports viewers straight into this enchanting Italian cityscape. Not only was De Jonghe an accomplished artist himself but also a successful printseller. One example is his first state print from 1651 featuring Rembrandt van Rijn—a testament to their artistic partnership that flourished during that era.
