Alexander Voet the Elder

He operated a large workshop in which sixty to seventy collaborators took care of the entire process of printmaking, printing and publishing.

Alexander Voet was active as a reproductive artist who made prints after the works of contemporary Antwerp masters such as Rubens, van Dyck, Erasmus Quellinus the Younger, Cornelis de Vos and others.

[2] He further published and may also have engraved some plates of two series of prints after designs by Cornelis de Wael, one on the five senses and one on the four seasons.

[6][7] In addition, he worked on many of the devotional publications of the Catholic monastic orders, in particular the Jesuits, Franciscans and Dominicans.

An example is the frontispiece that he cut after a design by Rubens for the 1633 publication 'Theoremata de centro grauitatis partium circuli et ellipsis' by the Flemish Jesuit and mathematician Jean-Charles della Faille.
