context_page_description: Arnold van Westerhout or Arnoldo van Westerhout was a Flemish printmaker, painter, draughtsman, publisher and printer. He trained in Antwerp but mainly worked abroad, and in particular in Italy. He settled in Rome where he was a prominent printmaker and publisher. The artist is less known for his paintings, which covered religious and genre subjects, than for his work as a printmaker and publisher.
context_section_description: Arnold van Westerhout is the author of 682 engraved works, most of which were produced during his residence in Italy.  The subject matter of the works he engraved and published includes religious, secular and historical subjects and portraits.  Some of the works are engravings after paintings of prominent painters of the 17th century such as Carlo Maratta and Guido Reni.  On some of these he collaborated with another Flemish engraver active in Rome called Robert van Audenaerde, of whom he seems to have been the publisher.
  In addition to the Vetera Monimenta (1690–1698), van Westerhout worked on other publication projects, including the following:
