Hieronymus Cock (1518-1570) was an Antwerp painter and printmaker. Together with his wife, he was one of the first to establish a publishing house for prints. From 1548 their firm "At the Sign of the Four Winds" issued hundreds of important etchings and engravings. Prints after frescoes and paintings by Italian artists Raphael and Bronzino, the first series of classical ruins, antique sculpture, as well as designs by such Northern artists as Maarten van Heemskerck and Frans Floris were distributed all over Europe and helped to spread Renaissance ideals of beauty. It was Cock who spotted the talent of Pieter Bruegel, an artist who would eventually supply Cock with more than sixty designs for prints.

Joris Van Grieken is curator of prints and drawings at the Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels. Ger Luijten is director of the Fondation Custodia, Paris, and editor of The New Hollstein. Jan Van der Stock is professor of art history at the Leuven University and director of Illuminare-Centre for the Study of Medieval Art (KU Leuven).
