Biography artist: Frederik Bloemaert (c.1614-1690) was a Dutch printmaker and draftsman. The youngest son of Abraham Bloemaert.

Abraham Bloemaert (1566-1651) was a Dutch painter and printmaker who used etching and engraving. He initially worked in the style of the “Haarlem Mannerists”, but by the beginning of the 17th-century altered his style in line with the new Baroque style that was then developing. He mostly painted history subjects and some landscapes. He was an important teacher, who trained most of the Utrecht Caravaggisti.
