ชีวประวัติ:

Jacobus Harrewijn, also known as Jacques Harrewyn, was a Dutch engraver who was mostly active in the Southern Netherlands. He was born in Amsterdam in 1660 and married in 1682. He joined the Antwerp Guild in 1688 and remarried in Deurne in 1689. He is known to have worked in Brussels from 1695 to 1714. Some sources have him continue his work from 1727 to 1732 in The Hague, which would be inconsistent with his death date from other sources. Harrewijn was a talented draftsman and specialized in the engraving of maps, plans, and views of Bruxelles and the Spanish Netherlands. He also produced numerous frontispieces for religious and theatrical works, including the Œuvres de Monsieur Molière and the Œuvres de Racine. He created the majority of the 32 portraits in the two-volume Mémoires pour servir à l'Histoire de France. Harrewijn died in Brussels in 1727.
