Daniel Mignot

Daniel Mignot was an artist active in 1516, whose documented output consists entirely of intaglio prints. Fifteen examples of Daniel Mignot prints are represented in museum collections, confirming the artist’s specialization in highly detailed ornamental designs.

The subjects of Mignot’s known surviving works focus primarily on elaborate jewelry and pendant designs, suggesting a possible context within the goldsmith or decorative arts trades of the early 16th century. Key documented works include the highly descriptive designs such as Large Pendant Surrounded by Ten Different Studs and Large Pendant with Two Double Crosses, Surrounded by Six Large and Sixteen Small Table-Stones.

This body of work is preserved in institutions including the National Gallery of Art. The documented prints showcase precise, museum-quality engraving characteristic of northern European Renaissance design principles. As these works date from the early 16th century, they frequently reside in the public domain, enabling the distribution of high-quality prints for scholarly study and public appreciation.
