Lucas Emil Vorsterman Sir Peter Paul Rubens
Lucas Emil Vorsterman and Sir Peter Paul Rubens are artists associated with a body of collaborative prints documented between 1595 and 1623. This active period places their collective output firmly within the foundational era of the Baroque style, relying on the engraver (Vorsterman) to translate the designs of the master painter (Rubens) into high-quality prints suitable for widespread distribution.
Institutional records document seven collaborative prints represented in collections, establishing their importance in the history of printmaking. The works span religious, mythological, and historical subjects, demonstrating both technical prowess and dramatic scale. Major works held in museum collections include the compositions Job Tormented by Demons and Abused by His Wife, Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata, and The Fall of the Rebel Angels. Other subjects represented are Isabella d'Este and the complex biblical scene The Adoration of the Magi.
Examples of these Lucas Emil Vorsterman Sir Peter Paul Rubens prints are preserved in major American institutions, including the National Gallery of Art. Because of their age and historic significance, many of these museum-quality images are now in the public domain, making the downloadable artwork available for scholarly research.
