Robert van Voerst. From Icones principum virorum ('The Iconography), before 1637. The Flemish artist Robert van Voerst (1597-1635/6) studied engraving under Crispin van de Passe. He first came to England in 1628 and shortly thereafter was appointed royal engraver to Charles I. His greatest works were his portrait engravings for van Dyck, commissioned when this great artist came to England. These included the famous portrait engravings of Charles I and his Queen, Inigo Jones, Sir George Carew and Philip, Earl of Pembroke.
