All his etchings are catalogued together with preparatory drawings and grisailles, as well as proofs containing corrective flourishes. Furthermore a selection is made of the prints after paintings by Van Dyck. A number of them were the initiative of the artist himself, others were produced on behalf of publishers and engravers. Works from the eighteenth century are included to illustrate the influence Van Dyck exerted until long after his death -- even in France and England."
