1632
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Lancelot Andrewes is a 1632 ink by John Payne, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a serious-looking man in a large hat and robes. His hands rest on a book, and he has a long beard. The background is a simple oval frame with text around it. The text calls him "Lancelot Andrewes" and says he died in 1626. His image looks detailed, with lines creating shadows and texture. Next, look up engraving to see how artists use lines to make depth.
John Payne (1607–1647) was an English engraver, who was one of the earliest exponents of the art of engraving in England. His best work was the finest produced by a native-born engraver working during the reign of Charles I.
