Van Voerst, Robert (Arnheim, 1597 - London, 1636)

Date:

c. 1625

Medium:

Original Engraving

Publisher:

Compton Holland, London

Note:

Robert van Voerst studied engraving under Crispin van de Passe. He first came to England in 1628 and shortly thereafter was appointed the Royal Engraver to King Charles the First. Robert van Voerst's continental training and experience placed him far above the native English engravers of the day and thus many of the most important commissions were placed in his hands.

Robert van Voerst engraved a number of fine portraits after such contemporary painters as Mierevelt and Van Honthorst. His greatest art, however, was his work for Anthony Van Dyck. When Van Dyck came to England he commissioned Robert van Voerst exclusively for his portraits. These included the famous portrait engravings of Charles I and his Queen, Inigo Jones, Sir George Carew, Philip, Earl of Pembroke and Sir Kenelm Digby.
