Portrait of British 17th Century

1600–1699

British 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 10 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist made detailed engravings and etchings in 17th-century Britain, often for book pages. Look at the Frontispiece from 1625—it’s a dense, symbolic title page crowded with figures and symbols. The Vanitas shows skulls and clocks, a reminder that life and power fade. Want to see another? Tap the 1655 Title Page to compare how the same artist framed different books.
