Jan van der Straet

Jan van der Straet (Italian: Giovanni Stradano, Latin: Stradanus) was a Flemish and Italian Mannerist painter.

Van der Straet is best known for his large-scale frescoes, which decorate several important buildings in Florence and Rome. He also created numerous prints and paintings on a variety of subjects, including mythology, biblical scenes, and historical events.

One of his most famous works is a series of prints called Nova Reperta (New Discoveries), which depict some of the major technological advancements of the 16th century, such as the printing press, the compass, and the telescope. The series was highly influential and helped to spread knowledge and awareness of these new technologies throughout Europe.

Van der Straet was a highly skilled artist and his works are known for their attention to detail and realism. He was also a skilled draftsman and many of his drawings and sketches have survived to this day. His influence can be seen in the works of many later artists, including Rubens and Rembrandt.
