Joseph Mulder (1658, Amsterdam – ca.1728, Amsterdam), was a Dutch Golden Age printmaker, known as a "renowned engraver".[1]
An engraving by Mulder illustrates the title page of the 1700 edition, published in Leiden, of Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems by Galileo.[2] This engraving shows Aristotle, Ptolemy and Copernicus. Mulder worked abroad as well, and produced an engraving of Vienna from a bird's-eye view, in nine prints each measuring one by two feet.[3]
Along with Pieter Sluyter, he did many of the etchings for the classic book Insects of Surinam (Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium) based on field drawings done by Maria Sibylla Merian.[4] This book, published in 1726, has been described as "magnificent"[5] and included early scientific study of the metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies.
The book Figures de la Bible a La Haye, published in 1728 in The Hague, has an etching by Mulder portraying Adam and Eve as "happy, childlike lovers" with Genesis 2:25 inscribed in six languages: German, Dutch, Hebrew, Latin, English and French. The English translation is "Adam and Eve were both naked and were not ashamed."[6]
Mulder's etchings are actively collected today.[7]
According to art historian Arnold Houbraken, he was a good etcher who had been the pupil of the Amsterdam painter Hendrick Bogaert in 1672.[8] Houbraken reported that Mulder claimed to have played a similar prank on a baby as Adriaen Brouwer had done: after a baby, who he had been rocking on his lap, soiled him (the diaper slipped off), he laid it on the floor and defecated on the baby. At that moment the baby's mother walked in and asked what he was doing; he replied, "het kind heeft my bescheeten, en ik beschyt het weer, dus beschyten wy malkander" ("the child shat on me, and now I shat on it, and so we're shitting on each other").[8]
According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History, he was an engraver and printmaker who had been a pupil of Bogaert and also followed Romeyn de Hooghe.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
