Pierre Louis van Schuppen

Pierre Louis van Schuppen was a printmaker and engraver active during the latter half of the 17th century, with documented professional activity spanning the years 1650 to 1687.

His known work consists exclusively of prints, primarily encompassing portraiture and religious subjects reflecting the styles prevalent in his era. Five prints by Van Schuppen are currently represented in museum collections, including notable titles such as the portraits Ludovicus Delphinus, Bazin de Besons, Claude, and François Van der Meulen, as well as the devotional image Holy Family and S. John.

The enduring quality of his draftsmanship is evidenced by the inclusion of his work in prominent institutional archives. Examples of Pierre Louis van Schuppen prints are held in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Given their age and institutional housing, many of these surviving images are now in the public domain, providing researchers and enthusiasts access to museum-quality records of 17th-century engraving, often available as high-quality prints or downloadable artwork.
