EDITORS COMMENTS
This double portrait, titled "Rubens and van Dyck," is a masterpiece by the renowned 17th-century engraver Paulus Pontius. The print showcases an intriguing meeting between two of the most influential artists of the Baroque era: Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. The image is richly decorated with various elements symbolizing the artists' heritage, accomplishments, and artistic styles. Rubens, depicted on the left, is shown wearing a fur-trimmed robe and holding a brass instrument, possibly a trombone, representing his musical talents. Above his head, cherubs blow trumpets, signifying the acclaim and admiration he received during his lifetime. The coat of arms of his hometown, Siegen, is also visible in the background. On the right, van Dyck is depicted wearing an elegant doublet and holding a quill pen, symbolizing his status as a painter and draftsman. Above his head, cherubs hold a caduceus, the symbol of medicine and art, reflecting his versatility as an artist and his influence on the medical illustrations of the time. The coat of arms of his hometown, Antwerp, is displayed in the background. The print is engraved on laid paper and demonstrates the exceptional skill of Paulus Pontius in capturing the essence of these two great artists. The use of amorini, or cupid figures, adds a touch of romance and whimsy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of the Baroque era. This double portrait is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, particularly Flemish and Dutch art of the 17th century.
