| biography:
| Painter and engraver, born in Leyden, W Netherlands. He practised almost every branch of painting, his most notable works including the triptych of ‘The Last Judgement’ (1526) and ‘Blind Man of Jericho Healed by Christ’ (1531). As an engraver he is believed to have been the first to etch on copper rather than iron, and ranks almost with Albrecht Dürer, by whom he was much influenced. |
