Cain killing Abel, Lucas van Leyden, artist, 1524, Netherlands, engraving, Born in the city of Leiden, Lucas van Leyden was the first Dutch engraver to achieve wide acclaim in his lifetime. He made about 200 prints, mostly engravings, but also woodcuts and a few etchings. He met Albrecht Dürer in Antwerp in 1521 during the German artist's year-long visit to the Netherlands, and Dürer drew van Leyden's portrait and bought a set of his prints. It is likely that van Leyden simultaneously acquired some of Dürer's prints, as his influence is evident in van Leyden's work in the early 1520s.
