Getting started with the collection:
Portrait of Maddalena Corvina
Claude Mellan (mentioned on object), 1636
Claude Mellan worked in Rome between 1624 and 1637. His teacher there, Simon Vouet, encouraged him to concentrate on portraiture. And he did. A meeting with fellow artist Maddalena Corvina in 1636 resulted in a small, intimate drawn portrait (now in Frankfurt), which Mellan then subtly translated into a print.
