Everything about Hieronymus Cock totally explained
Hieronymus (Jérôme) Cock (Kock) (c.
1510—
1570) was a
Flemish painter and
engraver of the
Northern Renaissance, but was perhaps most significant as a publisher and distributor of
prints. He was born to a family of painters; his father was
Jan Wellens de Cock, his brother
Matthys Cock (
1505-
1552).
He was admitted to the painters'
guild of Saint Luke at
Antwerp in
1545. From
1546 to
1548, he worked at
Rome. When he returned to Antwerp in 1548, he founded his own publishing house,
Aux quatre vents (the "House of the Four Winds").
Giorgio Ghisi and
Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert worked with him there, and
Cornelis Cort was a student.
He made engravings based on the works of
Pieter Brueghel the Elder and
Hieronymus Bosch. With the
Spanish cartographer Diego Gutiérrez, he collaborated on a
1562 Map of America.
