Jean Edelinck

Jan, or Jean Edelinck (c.1640 – 1680), was a Flemish engraver who worked in Paris.

[1] Joseph Strutt, writing in the late 18th century, compared his work unfavourably to Gerard's, saying that, although he closely imitated his style, "he never equalled him, either in drawing or the execution of the mechanical part of his plates.

[1] Edelinck made several engravings of the statues in the gardens at Versailles, of which Strutt said "they do him great credit, though the effect is cold, and the extremities rather heavy".

He also made plates after a portrait of the anatomist Isbrandus de Diemerbroeck by Romeyn de Hooghe, and The Deluge by Alessandro Turchi.

The latter was finished after his death by his youngest brother, Gaspard François Edelinck.
