Biography engraver: Boetius ? Bolswert, also Boetius Adamsz Bolswert (c.1585 ? late 1633) was a Flemish engraver of Friesland, Dutch, origin. In his time the paintings of Peter Paul Rubens called forth new endeavours by engravers to imitate or reproduce the breadth, density of mass and dynamic illumination of those works. Boetius Bolswert was an important figure in this movement.
