Peter Aubry

Peter Aubry (1596-1668) was a French engraver known for his intricate and detailed designs. His work often incorporated grotesque and fantastical figures, as seen in his alphabet prints, which feature ornate letters embellished with masks and mythical creatures. Aubry’s engravings are characterized by their highly detailed and ornate style, often using black and white linework to create a sense of depth and texture. This approach to engraving was influential in the development of the Baroque style, which favoured dramatic compositions and intricate details.
