Alexander Voet the Younger

He was the son of Alexander Voet the Elder, one of the leading engravers and publishers in Antwerp in the middle and second half of the 17th century.

Alexander trained under his father as well as under the prominent engraver Paulus Pontius, one of the key printmakers in Rubens' workshop.

Like his father, he did not engrave all works signed by him but had them produced by collaborators in his workshop.

Alexander Voet was a reproductive artist who made prints after the works of contemporary Antwerp masters such as Rubens, Jacob Jordaens and others.

As a result, it has not always been possible to identify whether the father or son were responsible for engraving a particular print.
