Goltzius (January or February 1558 - January 1, 1617, Haarlem), was a Dutch
printmaker, draftsman, and painter. He was the leading Dutch engraver of the early Baroque
period, or Northern Mannerism, noted for his sophisticated technique and the
"exuberance" of his compositions. According to A. Hyatt Mayor, Goltzius
"was the last professional engraver who drew with the authority of a good painter and
the last who invented many pictures for others to copy". In middle age he also began
to produce paintings. |
