Pieter Stevensz. van Gunst (1658/9, Amsterdam - buried 10 November 1732, Amsterdam), also known as Pieter Stevens van Gunst or Petrus Stephani, was a Dutch draughtsman, copperplate engraver and printmaker active in Amsterdam, London (1704), and the Dutch town of Nederhorst (1730-1731).[1] Prints of engravings by Van Gunst are in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among others. Van Gunst produced a number of engravings, mainly portraits, including copies of work by Anthony van Dyck. He also made a series of illustrations for historical treatises by Isaac de Larrey and engravings of drawings by Gerard de Lairesse to illustrate Govert Bidloo's Anatomia Humani Corporis.[2] In 1713-1715 he engraved a set of ten plates after paintings by van Dyck from the collection of Philip Wharton, 1st Duke of Wharton. These plates were commissioned by a syndicate of British art dealers (Cock, Comyns and McSwiny), who employed Jacob Houbraken to come to Britain in 1713 to make the drawings and van Gunst to engrave them in Amsterdam. The set of ten plates was advertised in the London Gazette on 13 December 1715.[3] Not much is known of his life. In 1687 in Amsterdam, he married one Leonora Baarselmans from The Hague. In 1712 he joined the Amsterdam book sellers' guild as an art dealer. He was buried on 10 November 1732 in the Westerkerk church in Amsterdam.[1][4] His son, Pieter van Gunst Junior, is often confused with his father because he not only shared the same name but also worked as an engraver. The son was also a poet; in 1736 he published a series of psalms set to rhyme, CL psalmen des profeeten Davids, a project which took him 18 years to complete.[5] References1. ^1 Record 34677 for Gunst in the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (Dutch) {{commons category|Pieter van Gunst}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Gunst, Pieter}}2. ^"Pieter van Gunst" in Van Eijnden & van der Willigen, Geschiedenis der Vaderlandsche Schilderkunst (Dutch) 3. ^"Pieter van Gunst, biographical details", British Museum 4. ^I.H. van Eeghen, Stevensz. van Gunst en zijn gravures naar portretten van van Dijk', Amstelodamum 52 (1965), p. 22-25 (Dutch) 5. ^Van der Aa et al, Biographisch Woordenboek der Nederlanden (Dutch) 6 : 1658 births|1732 deaths|Dutch engravers|Dutch printmakers|Dutch draughtsmen|Artists from Amsterdam |
