Illustration to Lucas 18.10 Pieter van der Borcht (1535 - 1608) was a Flemish draughtsman and etcher. He was born in Mechelen, but spent the majority of his career in Antwerp where he worked for the publisher Christopher Plantin. He was Plantin's prime illustrator and his commissions were numerous. Van der Borcht's earlier works include the the Emblemata of Sambucus, as well as woodcuts for a herbarium by Rembert Dodoens, titled the Frumentorum, leguminum, palustrium et aquatilium herbarum historia. His later etchings were mostly of Biblical subjects. These included the Evangeliorum Domincalium Summaria, published in 1580, and the Biblia Sacra, in 1583.
