Jacques Blondeau

He became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome.

Blondeau was a very active member of the association and his name appears twice in the history of the Bentvueghels.

He wrote his name in red chalk in one of the niches in the church of Santa Costanza where the Bentvueghels used to congregate: jacobus Blondeau / alias de weymyn.

[3] He engraved several portraits, including that of Pope Urban VIII and various cardinals in Rome.

[2] He spent some time in Firenze where he is said to have made several engravings, together with Abraham Bloemaert and François Spierre after the frescos by Pietro da Cortona in the Palazzo Pitti.
