Iconographie Ou Vies Des Hommes Illustres Du XVII. Siecle: Les Vies Des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs, Architectes Et Autres Artistes
An 1759 printed series of engraved portraits from the Iconographie, a collection of illustrated lives of seventeenth-century painters, sculptors, engravers and architects, reworked from Anton van Dyck's originals by Paulus Pontius and Lucas Vorsterman and held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are bust-length male portraits in fine burin or etched line, with men in ruff collars, dark doublets and cloaks, set against plain or architectural backgrounds, useful to a designer looking for period costume, dignified poses and tonal crosshatching.
