JODE (Peter de), an engraver of some note, was a native of Antwerp. He received his first instructions in the art of engraving from Henry Goltzius; and afterwards went to Italy, in order to complete his studies from the works of the great masters. He engraved several plates in that country from different painters; and returned to Antwerp about the year 1601, where he resided till the time of his death, which happened A. D. 1634. His works are very numerous, and possess a considerable share of merit.
