Anna Visscher

Anna Visscher

Anna Roemers Visscher (ca. Feb 2 1583, Amsterdam - Dec 6 1651, Alkmaar) was a Dutch artist, poet, and translator.

Anna Roemers Visscher was the eldest daughter of Roemer Visscher and the sister of Maria Tesselschade Visscher. Her family's economic and social status in Amsterdam enabled Visscher to be schooled in languages, calligraphy, embroidery, drawing, painting, and other arts. She is particularly regarded for her diamond-point glass engraving. Additionally, she had an apparent interest in emblem books, as she translated into Dutch thirteen epigrams from Georgette de Montenay's "Emblèmes, ou devises chrestiennes" of 1584 [http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/manuscripts/search/resultsn.cfm?NID=15755&RID=] . She also contributed poetry to the 1618 emblem book, "Silenus Alcibiadis, Sive Proteus" (variously called "Emblemata", "Minnebeelden" with "Maegdenplicht", or "Sinne- en Minnebeelden") [http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/laan005lett01/laan005lett01_2056.htm] by Jacob Cats.
