Simon Frisius started his career in Paris and later worked in Rouen and Amsterdam. In 1611 he moved to The Hague, where he became a member of the Confrerie Pictura. He was born in Harlingen and also went by Simon de Vries, though nobody knows his exact birth or death year. In his treatise on engraving, Abraham Bosse wrote that Frisius was one of the first to handle the point with freedom and ease. He often marked his plates S. F. fecit, and his principal works include landscapes after Matthijs Bril and Hendrik Goltzius. Browse 322 works by Simon Frisius from 5 museums, free to download in HD. Source: Wikipedia
