"De hengelaar" (The Angler) is a bronze plaquette by Hans (?) Jamnitzer, dating back to 1570. This small, intricately detailed relief depicts a scene of a man fishing in a wooded landscape. Jamnitzer, a prominent German goldsmith and medalist, is known for his masterful use of the medium, evident in the precise rendering of the figures, trees, and the surrounding nature. This plaquette serves as a testament to Jamnitzer's skill and the richness of Renaissance art in the 16th century. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
