Adriaen Collaert

Adriaen Collaert (c. 1560 – 29 June 1618) was a Flemish designer and engraver.

[citation needed] The estimated year of his birth at Antwerp is between 1555 and 1565.

[1] He also worked for Gerard de Jode (where he made prints after Maerten de Vos), Eduard Hoeswinckel and Hans van Luyck.

[1] After having learnt the principles of the art in his own country, he visited Italy for improvement, where he passed some years.

On his return to Flanders, he engraved a great number of plates, executed in a neatly finished style, but with a certain degree of dryness.
