Gerard Valck
(1651 or 1652-1726), EngraverArtist associated with 33 portraits
Gerard Valck was a Dutch mezzotint engraver and publisher. His earliest dated mezzotint, Sleeping Cupid (1677), is after a painting by Guido Reni. Valck's sixty-seven engravings and mezzotints were mostly based on designs by other artists, for example Peter Lely, Gérard de Lairesse and Philipp Tidemann. They were often published by Valck himself. In Amsterdam, he worked in partnership with his brother-in-law Pieter Schenck and later with his son Leonardus Valck. Valck's publications include atlases, separate maps and printed globes, as well as series of prints with views of houses belonging to the Orange-Nassau family, trades and professions, fountains, chimneys and birds.
