Anthony Van Dyck
(Antwerp, 1599. .1641) was admitted into the painter's Guild
of Antwerp, as a Master. A year later he was the senior assistant
to Rubens. A superb portraitist, Van Dyck became famous throughout
Europe and later was appointed court painter to King James the
First of England. Anthony Van Dyck was first introduced to both
engraving and etching by Peter Paul Rubens. Around 1630 he began
his most ambitious printmaking project to create a uniform series
of engravings of famous contemporaries derived from his portraits.
Anthony Van Dyck provided his engravers with extensive preparatory
work, including drawings and oil sketches. He then corrected his
engraver's proofs and even etched the outline features on some of
the portraits. In the following years he designed and supervised
about eighty such portrait engravings which were published
individually by Martin van den Enden. His principal engravers
included Paulus Pontius, Nicolaes Lauwers, Pieter de Jode, Lucas
Vorsterman, Robert van Voerst and others.
