ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Carolus Gonzaga, Duc de Nevers-Rethel is a 1590 ink by Thomas de Leu, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a beard. He’s wearing a fancy collar with a chain and a ruffled shirt. Around his head is a circle with Latin words, and small faces peek out from the sides. The artist used fine lines to show his face and clothes, making it look detailed. This style was common in the Renaissance. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this made prints.
Thomas de Leu or Leeuw or Le Leup or Deleu (1560–1612) was a French engraver, publisher, and print dealer of Flemish origin.
