     Posing in the Prints of Hendrick Goltzius and His Circle
    In 1586 Hendrick Goltizus engraved the so-called Roman Heroes, a series of eight figures in the costume of ancient warriors. The figures were distinguished by their extravagant postures, their divorce from specific content, and their virtuoso technique. In turn, the series inspired a genre of extremely stylized variation upon established themes. Together they represent one of the last great expressions of Mannerism, the self-consciously stylish style that dominated European art in the second half of the sixteenth century. Along with the Roman Heroes, this exhibition presents four of the most important series by Goltzius and his immediate followers, each complete.
