Biography engraver: Pieter de Jode II or Pieter de Jode the Younger (1606-1674) was a Flemish Baroque printmaker, draughtsman, painter and art dealer. A scion of an important dynasty of printmakers active in Antwerp, he created many prints after the works of leading painters and was a close collaborator of Anthony van Dyck for whom he engraved many portraits.
Biography artist: Anselm van Hulle or Anselmus van Hulle (1601-1674/1694) was a Flemish painter mainly of portraits whose works were highly prized at the Northern European Courts.
