Notes | After an unknown drawing by Rubens; a proof impression of the plate retouched by Rubens is in the Cabinet des Estampes of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, inv.no.C10.516. After an unidentified marble sculpture (part of Rubens' antiquities collection). This is one from a series of twelve plates by different printmakers after antique marble portrait sculptures (heads, busts, herms), a project that Rubens completed in 1638 but must have been started much earlier (as one of the engravers, Bolswert, died in 1633). Some of these sculptures may have been part of the antiquities collection of Rubens himself; it is known that Nicolaas Rockox acquired the Demosthenes herm in 1622. The four different engravers were all employed by Rubens in his studio and are Paulus Pontius, Lucas Vorsterman I, Hans Witdoeck and Boëtius Adamsz Bolswert. The production of the prints was closely supervised by Rubens as attested by five retouched proof impressions. Only six of Rubens' preparatory drawings have survived. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
