1525 – 1592

Flemish painter and etcher, part of a family of artists, son and pupil of Willem van Cleve I, brother of Marten van Cleve I. After his apprenticeship, he went to Italy, where he painted a signed and dated View of Rome (1550; private collection) and made a number of pen-and-ink drawings with views of Rome and Tivoli. Some of the drawings later served as models for the etched series Regionum, rurium, fundorumque, varii atque amoeni prospectus, published by Philip Galle in 1587, and were also copied by other painters.Show more
