Times of Day/ Vesper, Jan de Visscher, etcher, 1660, Netherlands, etching, Jan de Visscher/ Johannes Visscher (c. 1636-before 1712) was a Dutch Golden Age printmaker who became a painter in later life. According to Arnold Houbraken, the great early biographer of Dutch artists, he was an able etcher who made famous prints in his lifetime after the works of Nicolaes Pietersz Berchem (as here), Jan van Goyen, Adriaen van Ostade and Philips Wouwerman. He became an able pupil of the landscape painter Michiel Carree at the advanced age of 56. Houbraken spoke to Carree personally about his art, who claimed that Visscher became as good as he was at Italianate landscapes although no paintings by Visscher's hand are known today. Jan de Visscher had two brothers, Cornelis Visscher and Lambert de Visscher. Although he spent his earlier life in Haarlem, he had moved to Amsterdam in 1658. His death was not recorded, and since he is referred to in the past tense when Houbraken was writing, he is assumed to have died before 1712.
