| | Hendrick Goltzius
One of the most prolific engravers of his day, Goltzius belongs among the Dutch Mannerists. He was the leading light at the end of the sixteenth century in the academic movement in Haarlem, which was devoted to the study of the nude and artistic theory. In 1590-91 he was in Italy. Around 1600 he took up painting, drawing his subjects from classical mythology, but he is remembered today largely from his engravings and drawings.
