Wilhelm Traut

Wilhelm Traut was a German engraver active in the 17th century. He is known for his highly detailed and expressive engravings of religious subjects, often depicting the faces of Jesus and Mary. The works of Traut are characterized by their use of hatching and cross-hatching to create depth and texture, resulting in a dramatic and emotive style. His prints were popular throughout Europe and are now considered important examples of Baroque engraving.
