Rembrandt : his life, his work, and his time. lishers such as the Elzevirs gave constantemployment to co-operators who produced illustrations for theirbooks; portraits of distinguished persons, statesmen, soldiers, ormen of letters were in great request throughout the country, andwere freely produced by skilled engravers like Jakob de Gheyn,Pieter Bailly, father of the painter David Bailly, BartolomeusDolendo, and Willem van Swanenburch, the brother of Rembrandtsmaster. It is possible that, while at Amsterdam, Rembrandt mayhave met a brother of Lastmans, who was an engraver of someability, and have received instruction from him.
