One Article, one Note and a Review in the June 2025 issue of Print Quarterly may be of interest to CODART members for their material relating to Dutch and Flemish artists.

Jane Eade’s article A Mezzotint by Jacob Christoff Le Blon (1667–1741) at Oxburgh Hall examines a newly discovered impression of Jacob Christoff Le Blon’s color mezzotint after Sir Anthony van Dyck’s (1599–1641) portrait of The Three Eldest Children of Charles I at Windsor Castle. The author discusses Le Blon’s invention of his revolutionary printing technique, the print’s distribution history, the operations of Le Blon’s workshop known as the ‘Picture Office’, as well as the circumstances surrounding the Oxburgh Hall impression, including its recent conservation treatment.

Evelyne Verheggen’s Note on Images of Miraculous Healing in the Early Modern Netherlands highlights the book’s analysis of Christus Medicus depictions, the seven works of mercy, the healing of the blind, deaf and physically handicapped, and the miracles of Christ. This is contextualized in detail by the reviewer with an understanding of far-reaching changes in religion and society during the sixteenth century brought about by the Reformation and the Eighty Years’ War (1568–1648).

The Review by Maarten Bassens on a set of publications about Melchior Lorck (1526/27–83) examines the itinerant Danish-German artist’s legacy to the Northern Renaissance, including the impact of his visit to Antwerp where he entered the circles of prominent artists, intellectuals and publishers such as Abraham Ortelius, Christoph Plantin, Hubert Goltzius, Philip Galle and Frans Hogenberg.
