Lucas van Leyden

Lucas van Leyden was a prodigy from Leiden who was making accomplished engravings in his early teens and became, with Albrecht Dürer, whom he met in Antwerp in 1521, one of the great printmakers of his age. He was among the first Dutch artists to paint and engrave scenes of everyday life, such as The Milkmaid and The Card Players. His triptych The Last Judgement is in the Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden. The British Museum holds a large collection of his prints.
