Léonard Gaultier; Jean Leclerc

Léonard Gaultier and Jean Leclerc were printmakers known for their active period around 1603. Their collaborative output focuses on devotional and calendar-based imagery, documented through a collection of historical prints preserved in institutional holdings.

The artists are represented in collections such as the National Gallery of Art by a total of 13 recorded prints. This body of work frequently depicts religious observations tied to the annual calendar cycle. Key examples from this series include Les Feste du mois de Janvier (January: the Circumcision), Les Festes du mois d'Avril (April: The Resurrection), Les Festes du mois de Decembre (December: The Nativity), and Les Festes du mois de Féburier (February: the Purification of the Virgin).

These historical Léonard Gaultier; Jean Leclerc prints illustrate the detailed engraving style prevalent in the early 17th century. The fact that 13 of their works are held in museums establishes their significance within the history of printmaking. Today, many of these works are considered public domain, allowing for access to high-quality prints and downloadable artwork for study and display.
