Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Histoire de la Gravure dans l'Ecole de Rubens
En parcourant l'oeuvre grave de Rubens on acquiert pourtant la conviction que presque tous les interpretes de ses toiles ne sont pas ses eleves proprement dits; que presque tous avaient acheve chez d'autres maitres leurs annees d'apprentissage avant d'etre admis a travailler sous sa direction. En d'autres termes, Rubens n'eut jamais un atelier de graveurs; bien plus, la succession chrono logique des planches gravees d'apres ses oeuvres demontre qu'il eut rarement a ses gages plus d'un graveur a la fois.
