(2) Herman Panneels
(b Antwerp; fl Madrid, 1638–50). Engraver, ?brother of (1) Willem Panneels. His stylistic links with his native Antwerp are clear in his frontispiece for the Gloria matris eclesiae by Tomas de San Cirillo (Segovia). Panneels also came into contact with Diego de Astor and other artists from Toledo in the late 1630s. His engraved portrait of the Conde Duque de Olivares (1638) for the Illustración del renombre de Grande (Madrid) is based on a type created by Velázquez. Considered one of the best engravers in 17th-century Spain, Panneels executed several handsome frontispieces, imbued with Baroque symbolism, and engraved the plates for some of the Muses in Francisco de Quevedo’s El Parnaso español (Madrid, 1648). His finest works are the plates and frontispiece that he designed and engraved for the Exercicios de la Gineta by Gregorio de Tapia y Salcedo (Madrid, 1643), with an excellent and delicately rendered portrait of Prince Baltasar Carlos Aged 14.
