Johannes Lutma
Janus, or Johannes Lutma the elder (Emden, c. 1584 – Amsterdam, January 1669) was a well-known Dutch silversmith.
Biography
He was a pupil of
New Church of Amsterdam. A number of the designs of Lutma were later published in four series of prints, mainly by his sons Jacob and Johannes Lutma the Younger, more often known as Jan Lutma. Jan developed a distinct, if not very influential, technique of stipple engraving by making dots on the plate with a punch and hammer.[2]
The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam has several works of Johannes Lutma in its collection: two silver saltcontainers, partially gilded, a silver drinking-bowl and a silver pitcher and bowl with sea-motives.
In the Amsterdam neighbourhood De Pijp, as well as Schoonhoven, there are streets named after him.
