Hylan Booker blogs about the paintings and engravings of Hendrik Goltzius.

Although known for his printmaking, Booker notes that the "the sensuous and decadent allegorical themes would find bold expression in [Goltzius'] paintings, which he took up in his middle age. His extraordinarily sensitive sense of detail gives one the feeling that here's an artist using a brush with the same ease as he wielded the burin, his steel engraving tool."
