Netherlands 1585 - 16421611-1642

Dutch painter, engraver, and draughtsman whose importance to this project lies in the illustrated martial material associated with `Nassausche wapen-handelinge`, the supplement to Jacob de Gheyn's famous weapons manual. He is therefore a visual and print-culture contributor to the transmission of arms knowledge rather than a technical fencing author.
