Artist
Swiss 16th Century
1550–1599
Swiss 16th Century was a Renaissance artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist drew men in armor, portraits with broad-brimmed hats, and seasonal landscapes like Water and Earth/Autumn and Winter. Working in 16th-century Switzerland, they used black chalk, ink, and wash to build up figures and scenes on paper. Their surviving sheets, such as A Man in Armor and Portrait of a Man in a Broad-Brimmed Hat, show careful linework and subtle shading. Tap Water and Earth/Autumn and Winter to see how they split a year into two ink-washed halves.
