EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Hendrik Goltzius" captures the essence of a renowned artist in the early 17th century. Created by Robert Willemsz de Baudous, this print showcases Goltzius' distinctive features and his mastery in the art of engraving. Goltzius, a German-born printmaker, draftsman, and painter, is depicted with an air of confidence as he gazes directly at the viewer. His prominent moustache and beard add to his distinguished appearance while emphasizing his status as a master artist. In this portrait, Goltzius is surrounded by symbolic elements that represent his artistic prowess. A globe symbolizes his global influence on art during that time period. The laurel wreath crowning him signifies his achievements and recognition within the artistic community. The presence of brushes and palette hints at Goltzius' dedication to painting alongside engraving. A putto holding a burin - an essential tool for engravers - further emphasizes Goltzius' expertise in this particular craft. Displayed against a neutral background in exquisite detail, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the world of Baroque Northern Mannerism through one of its most celebrated figures. Preserved at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, it serves as both an homage to Hendrik Goltzius' legacy and an inspiration for aspiring artists today.
