1617
Portrait of Hendrick Goltzius
Jacob MathamDutch, 1571 - 1631
This print was engraved by Jacob Matham, Goltzius’s stepson who worked in the Goltzius workshop and took over the business around 1599. Matham’s print honors his recently deceased stepfather by surrounding his portrait with the figures of Mercury (named Spirito in the print), Pallas (Disegno), and the Three Graces, all symbols of Goltzius’s enduring fame.
