Frédéric Hortemels
Frédéric Hortemels is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Frédéric Hortemels made prints in early 18th-century France. His engraving Birth of St. John the Baptist shows the newborn wrapped in swaddling cloths, his mother Elizabeth lying back, a maid holding a basin, and Zechariah writing the child’s name on a tablet. The scene follows the plain, readable style of French book illustration of the 1700s. See how Hortemels carved fine lines for light and shadow in the room’s wooden beams.
