Cornelis Bloemaert II (Utrecht, 1603 – Rome September 28, 1692), was a Dutch painter and engraver.
Bloemaert studied with his father, Abraham Bloemaert and his father\'s pupil, Gerard van Honthorst. Though originally trained as a painter, he devoted primarily to printmaking. He went to Paris in 1630, where he made engravings from among others, Michel de Marolles\'s Temple des Muses, before going to Rome in 1633. His chisel can be recognised by the colours\' richness and the smoothness of their transitions. Amongst his pupils were Michel Natalis and Gilles Rousselet. Some of his better known engravings are of Annibale Carracci\'s The Holy Family, Pietro da Cortona\'s Adoration of the Shepherds, and Rubens\' Meleager.THIS IS AN ORIGINAL ETCHING, NOT A MODERN REPRODUCTION
