Netherlands painter, engraver and draughtsman, probably born in 1494 in Leyden. He was apprenticed to his father, Hugo Jacobsz and to Cornelis Engebrechtsz in Leyden. His first dated engraving is from 1508. In June 1521 in Antwerp he met Dürer, who drew his portrait. In 1527 he travelled to Zeeland, Flanders and Brabant, visiting Jan Gossaert in Middelburgh on the way. He died in Leyden in 1533.
