# Hendrik Goltzius

> Goltzius pushed metal engraving into territory it wasn't supposed to reach — muscular, theatrical compositions that made other printmakers look like they were sketching with a dull pencil. The last engraver who could draw like a painter and invent images the whole industry would copy.

*German-born Dutch printmaker, draftsman and painter (1558-1617)*

## Bio

Born Goltz somewhere in Germany in early 1558, Hendrik Goltzius became Dutch by trade and temper. He led Northern engraving into the Baroque, mastering a technique so sophisticated it set the standard across the Low Countries. By mid-career he'd begun painting as well, though his reputation rests on the prints: swaggering, exuberant, technically flawless. He died in January 1617, the last of a kind — a printmaker who commanded the authority of a serious painter and whose invented images became templates for a generation.
