Design for Tankard With a Landscape, c. 1594, Paul Flindt the Younger, German, 1567-after 1631, 4 5/8 x 5 1/16 in. (11.75 x 12.86 cm) (sheet), Punch engraving, Germany, 16th-17th century, Like many of the German artists in this exhibition, Paul Flindt (Vlindt) trained as a goldsmith in Nuremberg. He produced three model books in the 1590s aimed at the professional goldsmith trade. Drinking vessels like this tankard were a specialty. Flindt was the most prolific of the Punzenstecher--artists who created ornament prints with a goldsmith's punch instead of an engraver's burin. The result is a design made of tiny dots.
