Artist

Paulus van I the elder Somer

Paulus van I the elder Somer is a Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Paulus van I the elder Somer was a draftsman who worked between 1576 and 1621, leaving behind only an untitled drawing from that span. His era sits squarely in the late Renaissance, when artists favored precise linework and careful shading to build form. That single surviving sheet shows his hand: delicate ink on paper, building volume through cross-hatching. Tap Untitled to see the work up close and trace the strokes yourself.
