Geoffroy Dumoûtier

Geoffroy Dumoûtier was an artist primarily focused on graphic arts, active during the first half of the sixteenth century. Documented output attributed to Dumoûtier spans the period between 1520 and 1543, positioning his career during the late High Renaissance and early Mannerist periods of European art history.

Dumoûtier's known work is centered on religious iconography. Museum collections currently hold seven prints and one drawing attributed to the artist, demonstrating his preference for the reproducible medium of printmaking. Notable works represented in these collections include The Assumption of the Virgin, A female Saint, and the detailed study Virgin and Child in a Niche. The Nativity is also represented among the artist’s output through multiple impressions or editions.

The artistic significance of these compositions ensures their preservation as museum-quality objects. Significant examples of Geoffroy Dumoûtier prints are housed within the permanent collections of major American institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art. The lasting presence of Dumoûtier’s works in respected institutions underscores their importance to the study of early sixteenth-century graphic arts. Because much of the artist’s output falls into the public domain, high-quality prints derived from the original plates are widely accessible for scholarly study and display.
