Artist associated with 50 portraits
Pieter Schenck was a Dutch engraver, mapmaker and publisher. Born in Elberfeld, Germany in 1660, Schenck moved to Amsterdam in 1683 where he became a pupil of Gerard Valck. He became a skilled exponent of mezzotint engraving, which he practised until 1695, at which point he focused on making and selling maps.
