Anthonis Sallaert

Anthonis Sallaert was an artist documented as active between 1590 and 1600. His surviving body of work, while limited in scope, demonstrates a concentration on graphic media, with five pieces currently represented in museum collections, including four prints and one drawing.

The subject matter found in Sallaert's work encompasses both Christian iconography and classical themes. Devotional works preserved in collections include the prints Saint John and Saint Luke, the narrative Saint George and the Dragon, and the devotional image The Sudarium. These stand alongside works such as the drawing titled A Scene from Classical Mythology.

The historical significance of Sallaert’s output is established by its inclusion in major American institutions, specifically the National Gallery of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The preservation of these Anthonis Sallaert prints in museum-quality settings ensures their ongoing scholarly study. As historical artworks, many of these pieces are now entering the public domain, making them available as high-quality prints and downloadable artwork for researchers and collectors globally.
