Among his best-known works is a series of eighteen engravings entitled Les Grandes Misères de la guerre (or Les Misères et les malheurs de la guerre), evoking the ravages of the Thirty Years' War then raging in Europe. He is considered one of the masters of engraving. His style is characterized by clarity of line and depth of inking, enabling his etchings to be perfectly legible, despite the frequent abundance of scenes and figures on engravings with often limited surfaces.
