Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert was a Netherlandish artist recorded by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as living from 1519 or 1522 in Amsterdam until 1590 in Gouda. Wikipedia describes the same Dirck Volckertszoon Coornhert as a Dutch writer, philosopher, translator, politician, theologian and artist, often considered the father of Dutch Renaissance scholarship. The museum holds his etching and engraving Balaam and the Angel, dated 1554, acquired in 2023. The atlas records him as the named maker of that biblical print, which the divinity atlas lists among its sacred images.
