Late-sixteenth-century audiences were thrilled by the engravings of Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617), and the technical perfection of his work and his unconventional inventions have lost none of their appeal. The exhibition in the Kupferstichkabinett presents a selection of around ninety of the finest works by the master from Haarlem, including biblical and mythological scenes and erudite allegories. It illustrates that Goltzius did not owe his great success solely to his own creative powers: he collaborated with other renowned artists of his time such as Karel van Mander and Bartholomäus Spranger and employed a series of talented associates who executed his engravings with the perfection for which he was celebrated.
