Cornelis Visscher

According to Houbraken he was an able etcher who made famous prints (in his lifetime), and who had an unusual talent for drawing after a live model with charcoal that was unparalleled.

[3] Visscher created images of notables like Louis de Boisot, Admiral of the Geuzen.

[4] He made a series of portraits in print of religious figures from Amsterdam and Haarlem.

[4] Houbraken mentions Kornelis de Visscher from Hamburg, a popular engraver in Amsterdam, who drowned at sea.

It is unknown whether the Haarlem and Gouda Cornelis Visschers were related to the Amsterdam mapmaking family.
