Hubertus Quellinus
Hubertus Quellinus (August 15, 1619, Antwerp – 1687) was a Flemish Baroque engraver.
Biography
He was the son of Erasmus Quellinus I[1] and the brother of Artus Quellinus I. In 1650 he traveled to Rome[1] but was in Amsterdam by 1660 where he engraved a set of 30 plates after designs made by Jan Bennokel, from the marble statues executed by Artus Quellinus I in the Amsterdam City Hall, which plates are marked with the initials of both the artists, A. Q. If. Q. They form a volume in folio, and were published in 1665 by Frederick de Witt in Amsterdam.
He also engraved some portraits. His plates are etched in a singular style, resembling that of Pieter Soutman, and neatly finished with the graver. While in Rome he joined the Bentvueghels with the nickname Saracin.[1]
