St Peter. Plate 11. From: Christ and the Apostles., Lambert Suavius, artist, 1545, engraving, Lambert Suavius (a.k.a. Lambert Zutman) (c.1510-1574–6), was a South Netherlandish printmaker, architect and poet. He was the son of the episcopal goldsmith Henri Zutman. He became a follower of his brother-in-law, Lambert Lombard, with whose work his own was formerly confused. Suavius became an independent master in 1539, when he married and bought a house in Liège. In the same year he purchased a glazier's stylus with a diamond point, which he used in addition to the standard engraver's burin to obtain a wider range of effects in his prints. He travelled to Italy, probably in the 1550s. His updated series of Views of Various Ruins including the Colosseum, evidently done in Rome, is executed entirely in etching, while his extensive series of portraits of the Roman emperors is done in a highly original mixture of engraving, drypoint and etching. He also engraved portraits of Michelangelo and Albrecht Dürer, using a medal as a prototype for the latter.
