Life

Barra was probably born in 's-Hertogenbosch or Middelburg. He was active in Augsburg and Neurenberg in 1599, in Middelburg in 1604, in London between 1624 and 1627, in Amsterdam in 1631, and back in London in 1634, where he died.[1]

He called himself, sometimes, "sculptor et vitrearum imaginum pictor", and published, from 1598 to 1632, several engravings which resemble, without equalling, those of Aegidius Sadeler. His first plate, "Susanna in the Bath", signed Barra (1598), is very rare. His plates are numerous.

gollark: This is problematic. Apparently small stars would basically just be red anyway, and larger ones would become red after being in the main sequence!
gollark: Not sure about their evolution, though.
gollark: There are intermediate classes between M (red dwarf) and G (our sun, roughly).
