Rare set of 12 pl. in first state of Collaert’s 24 «Views of the environs of
Brussels». This first edition published by Hans Van Luyck in Antwerp is not
numbered. Later editions by C.C. Visscher ascribed authorship to Hans Bol, but
also Jacob Grimmer is suggested as possible «inventor». The views represent
villages, castles, and abbeys in an intimate, direct manner based closely on
studies from life. Their naturalistic approach differs from that of the imaginary,
mythological panoramas produced by Italian landscape artists of the period. By
publishing regional landscapes Van Luyck met the needs of a clientele who was
increasingly more interested in regional geography. Printed within the images
are sometimes titles identifying the places pictured on the respective plates.
