Harmen Jansz Muller

Harmen Jansz Muller was an artist focused primarily on printmaking, documented as active between 1564 and 1567. This short, four-year period places his known output firmly within the mid-sixteenth century Low Countries tradition of graphic art.

Fifteen of Muller's prints are currently represented in museum collections, confirming his professional activity during this era. His documented works are housed notably in the Rijksmuseum, establishing the significance of his graphic contribution to religious and historical iconography. The surviving catalog comprises major religious subjects, including the prints Steniging van Stefanus (represented twice), Doornenkroning, and Dwaze maagden vragen de wijze maagden om olie. His documented subjects also extend to historical and biblical figures, exemplified by Jozua, David en Judas de Makkabeeër.

The availability of these Harmen Jansz Muller prints provides critical documentation for the study of graphic art production in the 1560s. Today, as these historical works transition into the public domain, they offer valuable insight into sixteenth-century narrative conventions. Institutions frequently provide high-quality prints and downloadable artwork derived from these primary sources for researchers and collectors globally.
