  • The article discusses 17th-century English artist Francis Barlow and his early career from 1648-1888. The author describes Barlow's drawings as following the model book and emblem design traditions and discusses his social status. His career and personal life are traced, including his likely independent financial means and his apprenticeship with artist Wenceslaus Hollar. Other topics include Barlow's 1666 illustrations for the book "Aesop's Fables," the evolution of his drawings of animals, his career as a bird and animal painter, his influence from Flemish art depicting animals, and changes in his technique including a switch from brown ink to black ink with gray wash.
