Artist

European 17th Century

1600–1625

European 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist made small, finely detailed portraits in gouache on parchment in the early 1600s. Their brush captured noble sitters with sharp lines and rich colors, a style that flourished in Europe before full-blown Baroque took over. See their portrait of Henry, Duke of Lorrain, a stiff-collared aristocrat framed by delicate shading.

Tap Henry, Duke of Lorrain to zoom in on the tiny brushstrokes that still hold their color after 400 years.
