Francis Delaram

Francis Delaram was an artist known primarily for his work as a printmaker, active circa 1590. His surviving works indicate a specialization in engraved portraits during the late sixteenth century.

Fifteen of Francis Delaram's historical prints are represented in major museum collections, confirming his contribution to English engraving of the period. The National Gallery of Art holds examples of his output.

Delaram's documented subjects include both secular and ecclesiastical figures. Notable works held in the database include two separate renderings of Abraham Darssie and the portrait of Catherine Mannes. Delaram also documented important religious figures, as seen in the related pieces Domini Robert Episcopi Salisbury and Domini Robertus, Episcopi Salisbury, both depicting Robert Abbot, Bishop of Salisbury.

These historical Francis Delaram prints offer insight into portrait documentation from the Elizabethan era. Today, the integrity of these images is maintained, and many are available as high-quality prints through collections in the public domain.
