Description
Engravings are easy to reproduce and distribute, and so in around 1600 they became the perfect ambassadors for artists. With a selection of 140 brilliant engravings, this volume shows that Goltzius and Rubens were highly innovative and strategically astute in their use of this medium, seeking to beguile their audience, arouse desires and disseminate their own new artworks. In addition to their paintings, the engravings became sought-after collectors’ items which played a decisive part in the promotion of the careers of both artists.
