Goltzius’s trip to Italy in 1590–91 was a turning point in his career. Although Goltzius was well aware of modern Italian art through reproductive engravings and through the works of Netherlandish artists who had visited Italy before him, in Italy he was able to study at first hand the works of Michelangelo, Raphael, and others. One of Raphael’s closest followers, Polidoro da Caravaggio, had made a specialty of painting frescoes on the facades of Rome’s palaces. Most of these frescoes have not survived, but one 16th-century writer noted that they were so often studied by artists of the next generation that they served as an “Institute of the Arts.” While in Rome, Goltzius made drawings after the frescoes and soon after his return to Haarlem produced these engravings.
