Dolendo, Zacharias
Dutch
Dutch, active 1581/1598
Zacharias Dolendo (1561–1601) was a Dutch engraver. He was the brother of Bartholomeus Dolendo, whom he surpassed both in style and in correctness. He was born at Leyden in 1561, and is said by Huber to have been a disciple of Jacob De Ghein. There are some portraits by this master, which are not inferior in neatness to those by J. Wierix; his plates are frequently marked with a cipher. There are by him: William, Prince of Orange; half-length, in armour. 1581. Andromeda chained to the Rock; finely drawn; after his own design. Adam and Eve embracing, whilst Eve receives the Apple from the Serpent; after B. Spranger. St. Martin dividing his Cloak with two Beggars; after the same. The Continence of Scipio; after A. Bloemaert. The Virgin and Infant, with two Angels; after J. De Ghein. The Crucifixion; after the same. A Set of small Plates of the Gods and Goddesses; copied from the larger ones by H. Goltzius. He died in 1601.

Dolice, Leon Louis
American
American, 1892 - 1960
Leon Dolice (1892–1960) was an American artist known for his etchings and pastels of urban scenes. Born in Vienna and trained as a machinist, he left home at the age of 14 to travel in Europe and North Africa. In 1912 he emigrated to New York where he began creating etchings of the city's iconic buildings and by 1922 his work sold well enough for him to devote himself full-time to making art. When etchings lost their popularity in the early 1930s, he began making pastels, oil paintings, woodcuts, and linoleum prints, and when, at the end of the decade, those works did not sell well enough to support him, he made metalwork decorations for interior design. Throughout his career he typically sold his art face-to-face. In the early years he would sell works door-to-door and later out of his own studio-centered galleries. During his travels, Dolice acquired a broad understanding of European art. After arriving in New York, his contacts with local artists and his own artistic instincts led him to develop a style of American modernism that, in time, evolved from a literal realism toward a personal interpretation of abstraction.
Dolivar, Jean
French
French, 17th century
Jacques Lepautre or Le Pautre (c. 1653 – 1684) was a Parisian engraver active during the last quarter of the seventeenth century. Jacques was the son of the prolific printmaker Jean Lepautre (1618–1682) and nephew of architect Antoine Lepautre (1621–1679). Jacques's oeuvre (body of work) is significantly smaller than that of his father's: according to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France’s Inventaire du fonds français entry on the Lepautre family, the BNF’s Cabinet des estampes et de la photographie possesses fifty-eight works attributed to Jacques Lepautre. Lepautre is primarily known for his engravings after drawings of ballet and mascarade costume designs by Jean Bérain. These prints, like those by contemporary printmakers like Jean Dolivar (1641-1692) and others, present single characters positioned in the foreground of a shallow space, posed to display elegant and often extravagant costumes. Inscriptions on the surviving prints indicate that Lepautre’s works were issued not only from his father’s shop ("sous les Charniers St. Innocent") but also from Etienne Gantrel's L’Image St Maur and Nicolas Bonnart's L’Aigle Noir. Many of Lepautre's prints can be found in the BNF's extensive...
