It is edited by T. Lawrence Larkin, Associate Professor of Seventeenth- to Nineteenth-Century European Art, and comprised of essays written by Kearstin Jacobson and Dani Huvaere, and object entries written by Larkin, Jacobson, Huvaere, Audrey Moss, Robin Anderson, and Stormy DuBois. This publication explores the historicizing impulse behind thematic displays of Rubens and Van Dyck paintings and discusses important images by reproductive printmakers\u2014from Lucas Vorsterman, Hans Witdoeck, and Jonas Suyderhoef in the seventeenth century to William Sharp, Ferdinand Joubert, and David Desvachez in the nineteenth century. Copiously illustrated, this volume is intended to stimulate discussion about the formal and conceptual relationship between paintings and engravings, invoking issues of artistic originality and variation, market developments, and thematic collecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/toddlarkin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Baroque2_Dec2020-copy-1024x750.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toddlarkin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Baroque2_Dec2020-copy-1024x750.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/toddlarkin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Baroque2_Dec2020-copy-300x220.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/toddlarkin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Baroque2_Dec2020-copy-768x562.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/toddlarkin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Baroque2_Dec2020-copy.jpeg 1199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Entry to the exhibition, with Jacob Pitau&#8217;s <em>Heavenly Concert<\/em> (1654-1661) after a painting by Anthony Van Dyck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forward   <em>Vaughan Judge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acknowledgements   <em>T.
