Lucas (Huyghszoon) van Leyden
- Lucas (Huyghszoon) van Leyden
-
born 1489/94, Leiden, Neth.
died before Aug. 8, 1533, Leiden
Netherlandish painter and engraver.
He was trained by his father, a painter, but his great talent was as an engraver. Even such youthful prints as
Muhammad and the Monk Sergius (1508) show great technical skill. In 1510, under the influence of Albrecht Dürer, he produced two masterpieces of engraving,
The Milkmaid and
Ecce Homo, the latter much admired by
Rembrandt. He is thought to have developed the technique of etching on copper (instead of iron) plates; the softness of copper permitted him to combine etching and line engraving in the same print. He was also among the first to employ
aerial perspective in prints. Though his paintings seldom attain the power of his engravings, he was an outstanding Netherlandish painter of his period;
The Last Judgment (1526–27) is his most celebrated painting.
