Blackwork Print with Two Horizontal Panels and Four Bezels 1600 - 1620

Claes Jansz. Visscher's "Blackwork Print with Two Horizontal Panels and Four Bezels" is a striking example of the Dutch artist’s skill in blackwork printmaking. Created between 1600 and 1620, the print features four bezels, two horizontal panels, and intricate, geometric designs. The image is a testament to Visscher’s mastery of the technique. The details are sharp and the lines are clean, creating a visually stimulating pattern. The piece is a quintessential example of the use of blackwork printing in 17th-century Dutch art, and a reminder of the artist’s versatility and artistry. This print is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
