GOLTZIUS "Rest ; Quod erat demonstrandum. Illustr. Zeitg. (1882), ii. 435 ; Leixner, D. mod. K, ii. 07 ; Rundschau, xviii. 30G. GOLTZIUS, HENDRIK, born at Miihl- brecht, Duchy of Jnlich, in Feb., I 155S, died inHaar- 1cm, Dec. 29, 1010, or Jan. 1, 1017. Dutch school ; his to ry, portrait, and land- scape painter, al- though his great reputation rests upon his skill as an engraver, which was ex- ceptional. He did not begin to paint until he was forty-two years old. Unhappily married to a rich widow much older than himself, he lost his health, and by the ad- vice of his physicians travelled through Germany (1590), then went to Rome and (1592) to Naples. After his return to Haar- lem he suffered from the harsh climate and gradually declined. Ho was a versatile, skilful, and extravagant mannerist, who, like Spranger, delighted in forced attitudes and unnaturally-developed muscles, and carica- tured the style of Michelangelo, whom he endeavoured to emulate.
