He was a leading publisher of art works and was the first publisher of Anthony van Dyck's Icones Principum Virorum (referred to as the Iconographie), a series of prints with half-length portraits of eminent contemporaries.[2] By the middle of the 17th century he was a leading publisher of prints in Antwerp, along with Frans van den Wyngaerde, Gillis Hendricx and Joannes Meyssens.[3]
