Anyone familiar with his work?

I’ve been told via friends that have seen some of his work in gallery exhibitions that his calligraphy is amazing. Unfortunately the only thing I can find relating to his name is a book about dutch engravings.

Maybe it’s no better.

Any Dutch help here?

That’s pretty much all I’ve come across. I was really hoping with the vast knowledge and book collection here someone might know more.
