Hendrick Goltzius (January or February
1558 – 1 January 1617), was a German-born
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. More Hendrick
