Details

Jacob Hoefnagel, Flemish artist and naturalist, was, like his father Joris Hoefnagel, an artist at the court of Rudolf II in Prague. He carried on his father's work with a series of engravings of insects and flowers called Archetypa studiaque patris Georgii Hoefnagelii (Frankfurt am Main, 1592). He is also known to have produced oils in a highly Mannerist style. //
