Engraving by Johannes Gillisz van Vliet (1632)(CBG217)




Also called: Johan van Vliet den Ouden.
Johannes Gillisz van Vliet was the most prominent member of his family. He made engravings for Rembrandt who, with this 'publicity', could reach a larger public.
The cooperation with Rembrandt ended before 1640. But Van Vliet was also a painter. One of his paintings is at the Hermitage Museum of de St-Petersburg.(CBG217)
