Lucas Vorsterman (1595–1675) after Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641) – Portrait of Cornelis Schut – Etching and Engraving from the Iconographie Series (17th Century) - This fine 17t-century portrait depicts Cornelis Schut, a prominent Flemish Baroque painter, poet, and designer of altarpieces. The engraving was executed by Lucas Vorsterman after a portrait by Anthony van Dyck, as part of van Dyck’s celebrated Iconographie series. The project was conceived as a printed gallery of eminent contemporaries, with van Dyck providing the original drawings and leading engravers of the time, including Vorsterman, translating them into copperplate prints. This particular portrait exemplifies the elegant realism and psychological depth typical of van Dyck’s style, paired with Vorsterman’s precise and confident linework.Artist or Maker:Lucas Vorsterman (engraver) after Anthony van Dyck (original portrait) Dimensions:17 cm x 25 cm Medium: Etching and Engraving Date:17th Century Condition Report: This work is in good condition overall.
