The Iconclass Indexes: Dutch Prints' is an indispensable reference tool for all those who are interested in Netherlandish art and culture of the16th and 17th centuries. The indices on Dutch prints are of special importance to those institutes and museums that have a copy of The Illustrated Bartsch at their disposal, because the volumes will refer to all the Dutch prints reproduced therein. Dutch prints, with their enormous spread and influence on the visual arts, will finally be accessible according to subject. 00The Sadeler family were the largest, and probably the most successful of the dynasties of Flemish engravers that were dominant in Northern European printmaking in the later 16th and 17th centuries, as both artists and publishers. As with other dynasties such as the Wierixes and Van de Passe family, the style of family members is very similar, and their work often hard to tell apart in the absence of a signature or date, or evidence of location.
