The Pursuit of Perfection: Hendrick Goltzius (1558 – 1617)

Presented by Albert Godetzky

While no longer a household name, the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius was regarded as a titan of printmaking for almost three centuries. To his contemporaries and subsequent generations, Goltzius’ contribution to the development of engraving could not be overestimated. Our journey into his life and oeuvre will include key examples by his hand and those of the workshop he established in Haarlem in the 1580s. With clients all over Europe – from princes to politicians – Goltzius applied his talents not only to his prints but to marketing a signature Goltzius ‘brand’, often in innovative and sometimes cunning ways. Goltzius’ designs would have a long-lasting and far-reaching influence appearing in works of art as far as India and Indonesia
