"Lucas Vorstermans Calcographus Antverpiae In Geldria Natu" is an engraving by the renowned Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, part of his celebrated series of portrait prints known as the "Iconography." The series, which includes portraits of prominent figures of van Dyck's time, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects. Lucas Vorsterman the Elder, depicted in this particular print, was a distinguished engraver from Antwerp, born in Zaltbommel, Gelderland, hence the title's reference to "Antverpiae In Geldria Natu," which translates to "Engraver of Antwerp, born in Gelderland."

The portrait of Vorsterman is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for the relationship between the subject and the artist. Vorsterman was one of the primary engravers who translated van Dyck's paintings into prints, thus playing a crucial role in the dissemination of the artist's work throughout Europe. The collaboration between van Dyck and Vorsterman, however, was fraught with tension, and their partnership eventually deteriorated, adding a layer of historical intrigue to the portrait.

Van Dyck's "Iconography" was a groundbreaking project in the 17th century, as it was one of the first extensive series of prints to document the intellectual and cultural elite of the time. The series was not only a showcase of van Dyck's artistic prowess but also an innovative means of self-promotion and networking in the art world. "Lucas Vorstermans Calcographus Antverpiae In Geldria Natu" stands as a significant entry in this series, reflecting the complex interplay between artists and the printmaking industry during the Baroque period.

The engraving is characterized by van Dyck's sensitive line work and attention to detail, capturing Vorsterman's features with a remarkable sense of depth and realism. The print is highly valued by collectors and historians alike for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the understanding of 17th-century art and society. It remains an important work for study in the fields of art history, printmaking, and the history of portraiture.
