Johannes or Jan Luyken (April 16, 1649 – April 5, 1712) was a Dutch poet, illustrator and engraver. He was born and died in Amsterdam, where he learned engraving from his father Kaspar Luyken. He married at 19 and had several children, of who Kasparus Luiken also became a renowned engraver. He had a religious experience at age 26 that inspired him to write moralistic poetry. He illustrated the 1685 edition of the Martyrs Mirror with 104 copper etchings. He also published Het Menselyk Bedryf (‘The Book of Trades’) in 1694, which contains numerous engravings, by Luiken and his son Caspar (Caspaares), of 17th century trades.
