Peter Troschel

Peter Troschel was an artist active during the mid-seventeenth century, with his documented professional output spanning the years 1630 to 1656. The core of his known practice centered on historical portraiture executed primarily in the print medium. Seven of Peter Troschel's prints are currently represented in major international collections, confirming his activity as a producer of portrait engravings during the Baroque era.

Troschel specialized in documenting high-status figures, depicting various members of the German nobility and court. Among the works preserved in institutional holdings are the portraits of historical figures such as Portret van Albrecht Alkibiades, Portret van Franz, Herzog von Braunschweig-Lüneburg, and Portret van Joachim Camerarius II. Other surviving examples include Portret van Albrecht van Brandenburg-Ansbach, hertog van Pruisen and Portret van Heinrich XXIII, Graf von Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.

The historical significance and quality of the artist’s output are attested by its preservation in major institutions, including the Rijksmuseum and the National Gallery of Art. Today, many of Peter Troschel’s works, available as high-quality prints, are considered part of the public domain, allowing institutions and researchers to access and download historical artwork.
