Peter Aubry II

Peter Aubry II was an artist active in the field of printmaking during the early 17th century, with a specific documented period of activity around 1628. Little biographical information outside of his artistic output has been definitively established. His surviving body of work, comprising six known prints preserved in major institutions, provides insight into specialized ornamental subject matter prevalent during the period.

The core of Aubry II's documented oeuvre consists of detailed engravings, primarily related to the series Newes Lauberbuechlein. Multiple impressions of the print Goldsmith's Bouquet are represented in collection holdings, confirming the artist’s contribution to design or technical illustration.

Today, this limited number of Peter Aubry II prints is secured in prominent North American institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These holdings establish the artist’s credibility and provide vital reference points for the study of 17th-century European print culture. Due to the antiquity of the works, high-quality prints derived from the originals are widely available for research and enjoyment in the public domain.
