OR:

Jan, or Jean Edelinck (c.1640 – 1680), was a Flemish engraver who worked in Paris.


Life

He was born in Antwerp, the brother of Gerard Edelinck. He was probably younger than Gerard, though his date of birth is unknown. He preceded his brother to Paris. Joseph Strutt, writing in the late 18th century, compared his work unfavourably to Gerard's, saying that, although he closely imitated his style, "he never equalled him, either in drawing or the execution of the mechanical part of his plates." He died in Paris in 1680.


Works

He also made plates after a portrait of the anatomist Isbrandus de Diemerbroeck by Romeyn de Hooghe, and ''The Deluge'' by
