Cornelius Pinssen

This engraver worked in the late 15th to early 16th century, turning notable faces into crisp black-and-white prints. Their only confirmed piece here is the engraving Andreas, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Empire, a sharp-lined portrait of a high-ranking churchman. Look for the fine folds of the prelate’s robes and the careful shading of his hat. Tap the engraving to zoom in on the needle-sharp details.
