Uittreksel

“Apparently without the slightest difficulty Jan van den Velde executed every style of writing with an unparalleled virtuosity which is really astounding. He stands out as a master in the making of letterforms in any conceivable shape, but he also shows himself a great decorative artist in his inimitably complicated, yet always tasteful and harmonious, scrolls, and finally as an able draughtsman of sometimes whimsical, sometimes bizarre, but always lively figures of humans and animals which ornament his calligraphy. The ‘Spieghel’ owes much to the ability of the engraver, Simon Frisius, who translated van den Velde’s art into the medium of the copperplate. The calligrapher praised him lavishly for it” -- Verwey.
