Jonas SUYDERHOEF (Haarlem 1613 – 1686)
|
Dutch etcher and engraver. He was the son of Andreas Pietersz. Suyderhoef, secretary to the first Dutch ambassador in Constantinople. A reproductive engraver with an oeuvre of some 138 prints, Jonas worked after the compositions of 50 or more different artists, including Anthony van Dyck, Frans Hals, Gerrit van Honthorst, Adriaen van Ostade, Rubens, Joachim von Sandrart and Gerard ter Borch the younger, as well as Caravaggio, Jan Lievens and Rembrandt.
Suyderhoef, in his prints after Hals, managed to imitate the effect of painted half-tones through his delicate handling of the etching needle. The subtle alternation of highlighted and shaded parts in these prints also contributes to the masterly rendering of Hals's broad touch. Suyderhoef tended to finish his plates off with the burin. As well as some 107 portraits, there is a group after genre compositions by Adriaen van Ostade, including several large prints.
Suyderhoef's latest dated print is a portrait of Noah Smaltius (1668; Hollstein, no. 118), after Johan Thopas (c. 1630-c. 1700). After 1664 Suyderhoef's name occurs repeatedly in the books of Haarlem's guild, of which he served as dean in 1678.
