Abraham Aubri

Abraham Aubri was a printmaker known to have been active in Central Europe during the mid-17th century. Documented activity confirms his career spanned at least two decades, operating between 1644 and 1664. His output known to modern scholarship consists exclusively of prints, primarily focusing on topographical subjects and detailed architectural views.

Five prints attributed to Aubri are currently held in museum collections, establishing his representation in major institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These works, many of which are identified as copies of existing scenes, demonstrate a commitment to landscape and architectural documentation. Specific works include studies of European geography, such as Coblentz and Ehrenbreitstein, The Kunibert Tower near Cologne, The Rhine near Bonn, Coblentz and Harmenstein, and the view titled Windsor.

These historically significant works confirm Abraham Aubri’s contribution to 17th-century printmaking. Today, extant copies of these prints are often available as high-quality prints for researchers and the general public. Owing to their age, many of the existing Abraham Aubri prints are considered part of the public domain, allowing widespread access to downloadable artwork for study and appreciation.
