Gregorius Tarrisse is a 1634 ink by Balthasar Moncornet, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a serious-looking man in a round frame. He’s wearing a dark robe with a high collar and a chain around his neck. The background is just a plain oval border with tiny cross-hatched lines all over it. The text below says his name is Gregorius Tarrisse and he was a religious leader who died in 1648 at age 74. The artist’s name, B. Moncornet, is also written at the bottom. Want to learn more about how artists like this made detailed prints using engraving.
