Frederik Bloemaert (c. 1614 – 11 June 1690)[1] was a Dutch printmaker and draftsman.
Bloemart was born and died in
Utrecht. He was the youngest son of
Abraham Bloemaert and distinguished himself as an
engraver. He learned the art from his father, and was chiefly occupied in engraving after his designs. His principal work was a drawing book, containing 173 plates, engraved from the designs of his father. He also executed a few plates entirely with the
graver. His prints are sometimes signed A. Bloem. inv. F. B. filius fecit, and sometimes F. B. The following are principally after his father's designs:
Twelve of the Archbishops and Bishops of Utrecht, two of which are by
Corn. Bloemart. (one pictured)
