Jacques Granthomme

Jacques Granthomme was a printmaker active in Europe during the late sixteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries, with his documented artistic period spanning 1588 to 1650. His known output consists primarily of devotional subjects, reflecting the religious iconography common to the era of late Renaissance and early Baroque printmaking.

Seven of Granthomme’s prints are currently represented in major international museum collections, establishing his importance within the period's graphic arts tradition. His works are preserved and held by institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Rijksmuseum.

The surviving Jacques Granthomme prints typically depict figures from the New Testament, notably a series dedicated to the apostles. Specific documented works include Apostel Jakobus de Meerdere, Apostel Jakobus de Mindere, Apostel Matthias, and Apostel Simon. Granthomme also created key Christological images, such as Christus als Salvator Mundi. As historical graphic works, many of these images are now held in the public domain, allowing institutions to provide access to high-quality prints derived from museum-quality documentation.
