Marinus Robyn van der Goes

[3] He died on 27 April 1639 in Antwerp and was buried in the local St. James' Church.

In Rubens' studio he belonged to the 'new generation' of engravers with the likes of Hans Witdoeck.

The technique of van der Goes was more free than that of Vorsterman and was thus extremely well suited to the Rubens’ style.

The burin is applied with great finesse and fairly tightly and preserves across the plate a transparency and lightness that allows van der Goes to achieve the correct effect through relatively tempered black tones.

[3] He also made engravings after designs of prominent painters of his time such as Jacob Jordaens, Adriaen Brouwer, Hendrik Martenszoon Sorgh and Theodoor van Thulden.
