EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Balthasar Moretus, a prominent Flemish printer from the 16th to 17th century. The image is a line engraving created in the 19th century, based on an original painting by Erasmus Quellyn. Balthasar Moretus was not only known for his exceptional printing skills but also for his distinctive fashion sense. In this portrait, he exudes elegance and sophistication with his fashionable attire. His collar stands tall and regal, adding an air of authority to his persona. A well-groomed beard further enhances his distinguished appearance. As a printmaker, Moretus played a crucial role in the development of the printing industry during the Renaissance period. He was part of the renowned Plantin-Moretus publishing house in Antwerp, which produced numerous influential works that shaped European culture. The artist behind this engraving, Erasmus Quellyn, captures Moretus' essence with remarkable skill and attention to detail. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, Quellyn brings out every nuance of expression on Moretus' face. This print serves as a testament to Balthasar Moretus' significant contributions to both the art of printing and Flemish culture as a whole. It offers viewers a glimpse into history while celebrating one man's legacy as an esteemed printer and tastemaker in early modern Europe.
