Description: From a set of fourteen prints with animals and landscapes. State: Only state. Ref: Hollstein 328 / Roethlisberger 139. Print from a very popular and widely copied set.

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Boetius Adam Bolswert' after 'Abraham Bloemaert'. Boetius a Bolswert (1580-1633) was a renowned copper-plate engraver from Friesland. In his time the paintings of Peter Paul Rubens called forth new endeavours by engravers to imitate or reproduce the breadth, density of mass and dynamic illumination of those works. Boetius Bolswert was an important figure in this movement, not least because he was the elder brother and instructor of the engraver Schelte à Bolswert, whose reproductions of Rubens's landscapes were most highly esteemed in their own right. Abraham Bloemaert (1566-1651) was a Dutch painter and etcher/engraver. He was one of the 'Haarlem Mannerists', but shifted towards a more Baroque style around 1600.
