Cornelis Van Caukercken

Robert van den Hoecke, from Cornelis de Bie's Het Gulden Cabinet, 1662.

Cornelis Van Caukercken was a Flemish engraver and printseller, born at Antwerp in 1626. He engraved several plates of portraits, and other subjects, from the works of Rubens, Van Dyck, and other Flemish painters.- They are executed with the graver in a stiff and laboured style, but are not without merit. The following are his best prints:
