Allatrat Absentem (His Bark is Worse than his Bite, the Dog Trainer)

Allatrat Absentem (His Bark is Worse than his Bite, the Dog Trainer) is an original miniature engraving and etching created by the 17th century Flemish artist, Jacobus Neefs & Andries Pauwels the elder based upon the design created by Abraham van Diepenbeeck for Antonium a Burgundia's, Linguae Vitia et Remedia, Emblematice expressa. The engravings illustrate short morals, fables or poems. In Allatrat Absentem, the scene depicts a man training a dog. The words loosely translated from Latin mean, Allatrat (bark at, roar, rage, verbal abuse) Absentem (absent, send away, remove). It may refer to the old saying, "His bark is worse than his bite". Allatrat Absentem (His Bark is Worse than his Bite, the Dog Trainer) hails from the 1652 edition of Linguae Vitia et Remedia. The engravers are also listed elsewhere as Jacob Neeffs & Andries Pauli.

  Jacobus Neefs (Jacob Neeffs): A seventeenth century Flemish artist, Jacobus Neefs (Antwerp, 1610-1660), came from a well established family of artists dating back at least three generations. He is listed under various names which include, (Jacobus, Jakob or Jacob and Neefs or Neeffs). Jacob Neefs was strictly a graphic artist and studied under Lucas Vorsterman. Around 1630, he was admitted to the Guild of St. Luke of Antwerp. Although he engraved many plates after his great contemporary, Peter Paul Rubens, Jacobus Neefs was also associated with Anthony van Dyke, Jacob Jordaens, Abraham van Diepenbeeck and others. For van Dyke, he was employed to engrave some of the prints for the famous "Iconography", for Jordaens, he engraved about four large plates and for van Diepenbeeck, Jacobus Neefs also contributed engravings for the Linguae Vitia et Remedia, Emblematice Expressa, Per Antonium a Burgundia first published in 1631. The dated works of Neefs fall somewhere between 1630 and 1645. Artists who studied under Jacobus Neefs include, Jacques van de Velde, Emanuel van Winghen and others. Examples of Jakob Neeffs graphic compositions include, St. Michael Overcoming the Evil Spirits engraved after Rubens, Anthony van Dyke’s portrait of Joost de Hertoghe and the title page of the Iconography, a self-portrait of Anthony van Dyck, The Satyr Visiting the Peasant Family after Jacob Jordaens, Salome with John The Baptist’s Head after Johannes de Doper and many other compositions comprised of various subjects depicting portraiture, biblical, mythological, allegorical and historical themes. This original miniature engraving and etching entitled Allatrat Absentem (His Bark is Worse than his Bite, the Dog Trainer), was engraved by Jacobus Neefs and or Andries Pauwels (Andries Pauli), based upon a design created by the Flemish artist, Abraham van Diepenbeeck (1596-1675). It hails from the 1652 edition of Antonium a Burgundia's, Linguae Vitia et Remedia.
  Andries Pauwels the elder (Andries Pauli): A 17th century Flemish draughtsman and engraver and etcher, Andries Pauwels the elder (Antwerp, 1600-1639), also listed as (Andries Pauli), was mainly known for his work as a graphic artist and illustrator and was a member of the Guild in Antwerp. He studied under Lucas Vorsterman the elder (1595-1675), but was highly influenced by the art of Jacques Callot (1652-1635). The oeuvre of Andries Pauwels the elder is comprised of various subjects depicting biblical themes and individual, historical and genre scenes. Examples of his graphic art include, The Denial of St. Peter after Gerard Seghers (1591-1651), The Tooth-Puller, after Theodor Rombouts (1597-1637), and numerous engravings after Abraham van Diepenbeeck (1596-1675), for Antonium a Burgundia's, Mundi Lapis Lyndius sive Vanitas per Vertatem Falsi Accusata & Convicta. Along with Jacobus Neefs, Andries Pauwels the elder also contributed engravings for the Linguae Vitia et Remedia, Emblematice expressa per Antonium a Burgundia, a miniature emblem book first published in Antwerp in 1631, containing two series of forty-five emblems each, the first series commenting on the limitations and imperfections of speech and the second on how to remedy these faults. Allatrat Absentem (His Bark is Worse than his Bite, the Dog Trainer) hails from the 1652 edition of Antonium a Burgundia's, Linguae Vitia et Remedia.
  Abraham van Diepenbeeck: A Flemish painter and designer of the Baroque era, Abraham van Diepenbeeck (Antwerp, 1596-1675), was a student and assistant of the famous, Peter Paul Rubens. He was admitted to the Guild of painters in 1638 and later became director of the Academy. Abraham van Diepenbeeck is best known for his portraits, allegorical and historical subjects and was first recognized for his paintings on glass for a cathedral in Antwerp, the Church of the Dominicans as well as other works. Abraham van Diepenbeeck traveled and lived in England for several years (during the reign of Charles I), and was under the patronage of the Duke of Newcastle. There, he created such works as the portrait of the Duke of Newcastle and his family, as well as the portrait of Charles II on horseback and an image for La Methode Nouvelle (1657) engraved by the famous 17th century artist, Wenceslaus Hollar.
  Abraham van Diepenbeeck also illustrated many educational, religious, mythological, and historical books such as the fifty-eight lavish mythological designs engraved by Cornelis Bloemaert for the Abbe de Marolles’ Tableaux du Temple des Muses (1655), Horsemanship, Methode et invention nouvelle de dresser les chevaus, (1658), The Holy Bible: containing the bookes of the Old & New, and the designs for both Antonium a Burgundia's, Mundi Lapis Lyndius sive Vanitas per Vertatem Falsi Accusata & Convicta and the Linguae Vitia et Remedia, Emblematice expressa, as well as numerous designs for many other important 17th century books.
  Today, Abraham van Diepenbeeck’s paintings can be found in major collections such as the Hermitage Museum, the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK and many other public and private institutions.
  The Golden Age of Antwerp: The last half of the 16th and the first half of the 17th centuries marked the Golden Age of Antwerp. No city at this time could rival either its affluence or its artistic activity. This was after all the cultural centre for Jacob Jordaens, Anthony Van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens. In particular, Rubens devoted much of his skills to the services of Antwerp publishers such as Plantin. His efforts combined with those of many others to give birth to some of the greatest engravings and illustrated books in the history of the artform. Such outstanding engravers as Paulus Pontius, Bolswert, Lucas Vorsterman and the Galle brothers worked directly with Rubens and other Antwerp artists.
  Linguae Vitia et Remedia: This book was first published in Antwerp in 1631. The complete opus consisted of about ninety original engravings, each illustrative of a short moral fable or poem. Works of this nature were termed 'Emblem Books' and are tremendously scarce. Each of these miniature engravings was engraved by the early 17th century artists, Andries Pauwels (Andries Pauli) and Jacobus Neefs (Jacob Neeffs) based upon the designs of Abraham van Diepenbeeck. The high quality and detail found within each work of art is also reminiscent of Cornelis Galle and his workshop.
  The engravings from Linguae Vitia et Remedia are generally based upon the themes of language and communication and with the many confusions resulting from them. The broad basis of these themes gave the artist far reaching liberties to depict an almost infinite variety of early 17th century life and thought. Thus, apart from their obvious artistry, these beautiful miniature engravings provide an important observation of this long past era.
  In Allatrat Absentem, the scene depicts a dog trainer. The words loosely translated from Latin mean, Allatrat (bark at, roar, rage, verbal abuse) Absentem (absent, send away). This may refer to the old saying, "His bark is worse than his bite".
