About the Item

Title: Canal Scene in the Archipelago – Engraving by Lucas Vorsterman after Jan Peeters, Antwerp, circa 1680 Description: This copperplate engraving depicts a lively maritime scene in the Archipelago, featuring ships navigating turbulent waters near a coastal town with prominent fortifications and a classical statue on a pier. The composition includes detailed representations of sailing vessels, figures on the quay, and architectural structures, illustrating the bustling activity of a Mediterranean port. The engraving is attributed to Lucas Vorsterman as the engraver and Jan Peeters as the artist, exemplifying their collaboration during the late 17th century. Condition: The engraving is in good overall condition, with strong impressions and well-preserved details. Light foxing is visible, along with minor handling marks and slight edge wear. Despite these imperfections, the sheet retains its historical and visual appeal.
