Gaspar Bouttats

He engraved chiefly for the booksellers, and also made some plates after different masters. They are principally etched, and some finished with the burin. The following works are by him:

• Frontispiece for the Psalms of St. Augustine; Gaspar Boutats fec.
• The Massacre of St. Bartholomew.
• The Assassination of Henry IV.
• The Decollation of Count Nadasti, Count Corini, and Marquis Francipani.
• A Sutler's Tent; after Philips Wouwerman.

He often worked after designs by the marine and topographical artist Jan Peeters I. He etched the plates for a folio volume of city views of Jerusalem and the surrounding areas entitled 'Views of Jerusalem, and the surrounding Country;' after the designs Jan Peeters. In 1674 he engraved the Thooneel der Steden ende Sterckten van t'Vereenight Nederlandt met d'aengrensende Plaetsen soo in Brabandt Vlaenderen als anden Rhijn en elders verovert door de Waepenen der Groot-moghende Heeren Staeten onder het gheley vande seer Edele Hooghghebore Princen va Oranien (Scene of the Cities and the Forts of the United Netherlands with the Neighboring Places like Brabant, Flanders and on the Rhine and Conquered Elsewhere through the Weapons of the Great and Mighty Sovereign States under the Leadership of the Very Noble Prince of Orange). This last work offered city views of the major cities and forts in the Dutch Republic, the Southern Netherlands and along the Rhine after drawings by Jan Peeters.^[3]
