Picart based his illustrations primarily on the plates by Abraham van Diepenbeek that were engraved by Bloemaert for Michel de Marolles' Temples des Muses (Paris, 1655). Picart added superb rococo borders, however, that are exemplars of the style. The result combines the high baroque period of the Rubens school with the more gracious inventions of his own time. Each plate bears captions in French, English, German and Dutch. This is among Picart's final works, as he died during the year of its publication. Brunet V:696. t.
