Het gulden cabinet vande edel vry schilder const : inhoudende den lof vande vermarste schilders, architecte, beldthowers, ende plaetsnyders, van dese eeuw
Het gulden cabinet is a 1662 Antwerp book of biographies of seventeenth-century Flemish painters, architects, sculptors and engravers, written by Cornelis de Bie and published by Juliaen van Montfort for art lovers and collectors. Its engraved portraits show sitters in dark robes against plain or architectural backgrounds, with Latin-style captions in small italic type beneath, offering a designer useful examples of formal oval-era dignity, tonal hatching and tight engraved modelling.
