Schelte Adamsz Bolswert

Schelte Adamsz Bolswert was a leading Dutch engraver, noted for his works after Rubens and Van Dyck. Both he and his older brother, Boetius à Bolswert, worked in Amsterdam and Haarlem before settling in Antwerp. For the last five years of his life Boetius worked exclusively on engravings after Rubens. Bolswert's plates were worked entirely with the graver, and he does not seem to have made any use of the drypoint. The freedom which this excellent artist handled the graver, the picturesque roughness of etching, which he could imitate without any other assisting instrument, and the ability he possessed of distinguishing the different masses of colours, have always been admired by the conoisseurs".
