Lefebre, Valentin (1637 - 1677)

Valentin Lefebre (1637–1677) was a Belgian painter and etcher active in the latter half of the seventeenth century. He was born in Brussels, but settled in Venice where he produced a series of etchings reproducing the paintings of Titian and Veronese. The series was left unfinished at his early death, and finally published in 1682 by Jacques van Campen. He appears to have engraved the lettering for several maps published in Paris, by Du Val and by De Fer.
