Jan van Munnickhuysen

Jan van Munnickhuysen was an artist active in the Netherlands during the second half of the 17th century, with his documented working period spanning from 1664 to 1685. His output primarily consisted of printmaking, placing him within the tradition of Dutch Golden Age graphic artists specializing in portraiture.

Munnickhuysen specialized almost entirely in portrait prints, capturing contemporary figures of historical significance. Six of his prints are preserved and documented in institutional collections. These works, executed in the medium of engraving or etching, include formal likenesses such as the Portrait of Cornelis Tromp, Portret van Hermanus Neuspitzer, and the Portret van Abraham Johannes Kuffeler.

The historical importance of Jan van Munnickhuysen is substantiated by the inclusion of his works in major international collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Art Institute of Chicago. As is typical for works of this period, much of his historical output is considered public domain, allowing institutions to make high-quality prints and downloadable artwork available for study and reference.
