Francis Hocius
Francis Hocius is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
Francis Hocius worked in engraving, a craft that turns lines into light and shadow. His portrait of Ferdinand II, Roman Emperor, shows the ruler in a high-collared coat beside a globe and armor, the plate catching every lace and brocade. If you’ve ever wondered how a single sheet of metal can hold such detail, tap the engraving to see the burin’s fine strokes up close.
