As an illustrator, designer and as the head of a school of engraving, Hendrick Goltzius had a remarkable influence which precipitated a change in style in Dutch art around 1600. Goltzius worked in Haarlem from 1575 and around 1590–1 studied Renaissance and Ancient Roman art in Italy. Together with the Flemish artist Bartholomäus Spranger and his Mannerist figure ideal, Goltzius introduced his elegant style into Dutch art. Besides Jacob Matham, he promoted, among others, Jan Saenredam, who reproduced these highly finished drawings of the three goddesses by his teacher in an exquisite suite of copper engravings, which give them in reverse.
