Marinus Robyn van der Goes or Marinus van der Goes [1] (Goes or London?, 1599 - Antwerp, 1639) was a Flemish engraver. He was active as a reproductive engraver after the works of Flemish and Dutch designers. [2]
Historical data about van der Goes’ life are scarce. He was together with Hans Witdoeck a pupil of Lucas Vorsterman during the years 1630–31. He was admitted as a master of the Guild of St. Luke of Antwerp in 1632–1633. [2] He had three pupils: Alexander Goubau, Antonius Coolberger and Gaspard Leemans. [3]
He died on 27 April 1639 in Antwerp and was buried in the local St. James' Church. [4] In the burial register of the parish he was referred to as 'Marin van der Goes'. [5]
He worked as an engraver for the leading Flemish painters of his age. In Rubens' studio he belonged to the 'new generation' of engravers with the likes of Hans Witdoeck. There are 18 engravings made by van der Goes on the basis of Rubens’ designs. 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. He signed all his engravings with Marinus. [2] [3]
Jacob (Jacques) Jordaens was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and a designer of tapestries and prints. He was a prolific artist who created biblical, mythological, and allegorical compositions, genre scenes, landscapes, illustrations of Flemish sayings and portraits. After the death of Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, he became the leading Flemish Baroque painter of his time. Unlike those illustrious contemporaries he never travelled abroad to study the Antique and Italian painting and, except for a few short trips to locations elsewhere in the Low Countries, he resided in Antwerp his entire life. He also remained largely indifferent to Rubens and van Dyck's intellectual and courtly aspirations. This attitude was expressed in his art through a lack of idealistic treatment which contrasted with that of these contemporaries.
Philip Fruytiers (1610–1666) was a Flemish Baroque painter and engraver. Until the 1960s, he was especially known for his miniature portraits in watercolor and gouache. Since then, several large canvases signed with the monogram PHF have been ascribed to him. These new findings have led to a renewed appreciation for his contribution to the Antwerp Baroque.

Cornelis Galle the Younger, Cornelius Galle or Cornelis Galle (I) (bapt. 23 February 1615, Antwerp – 18 October 1678, Antwerp) was a Flemish printmaker. He worked mainly on publications for the Plantin Press in Antwerp for which he engraved devotional prints and book illustrations.
Lodewijk de Vadder was a Flemish Baroque landscape painter, draughtsman, engraver and tapestry designer. His landscapes represent a move away from the Mannerist tradition of landscapes painting in Flemish art towards a more naturalistic approach exemplified by looser brushwork and an emphasis on atmospheric effects. He was the first Flemish landscape painter who painted dune landscapes as the primary feature of his landscapes. While his loose brush handling shows the influence of Rubens and Adriaen Brouwer, his restrained palette shows his awareness of developments in the Dutch Republic.
