| Jan Harmensz. Muller (1571–1628) | ||||||||||
| Born in Amsterdam, Muller was an engraver, etcher, and draughtsman. He trained with his father Harmen Jansz. Muller, an engraver who also managed a successful printing shop. His work followed the Mannerist style and drew influence from Hendrick Goltzius and Cornelis van Haarlem, and it is thought that he may have studied directly with Goltzius in Haarlem. Through Adrien de Vries, a relative by marriage, he gained links with artists active in Prague, then a key centre of artistic production. While he produced engravings from his own inventions, most of his prints were based on works by Mannerists in Haarlem, especially Goltzius and Lucas van Leyden, as well as artists in Prague. Between 1594 and 1602 Muller was in Rome and Naples, where he concentrated on engraving, before returning to Amsterdam. After his father’s death in 1617 he gave up engraving and took charge of the family printing business with his sister Martige. He died in Amsterdam. | ||||||||||
