Valentin Lefebre
Valentin Lefebre (1637–1677) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and printmaker. Life 
Valentin Lefebre was born in Brussels in 1637, or around 1642. He died in 1677, or between 1680 and 1682: allegedly in Venice, or in England. Works 
He etched the series Opera selectiora quae Titianus … et Paulus Calliari Veronensis invenerunt et pinxerunt. The collection consists of fifty-three etchings after works by Titian, Paolo Veronese, and Jacopo Tintoretto. The series was first published in Venice by Jacob van Campen in 1682, and was dedicated to Louis XIV. It was often reprinted: in 1684, 1749, and 1763; and later by Teodoro Viero, who added his address to the plates, in 1786 and 1789. In the church of Santa Giustina in Padua is his painting of Saint Maurus with angels (1688). Notes
