Alexander Voet II

Alexander Voet II belongs to the circle of seventeenth-century Flemish engravers whose burin work carried Baroque religious and mythological subjects into print. His plates favour dramatic narrative scenes, from Saint Augustine's encounter with a child on the beach to the death of Seneca and the story of Cimon and Pero. This archive holds four of his engravings, issued in two states recorded by Hollstein, with impressions spanning the years 1650 to 1662.
