Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617
)Eight ancient gods 1592. Burin after Polydore by Caravaggio. Each 210 x 352. Bartsch 249-246; New Hollstein 315-322. Complete suite of 8 plates on strong laid paper, in an 18th-century edition addressed to G. Valk, some sizes slightly weakened. Freckles, stains and dampstains to some. Small losses in the lower margin of the 1st. Other small lacks in the lower right corner of the leaf to others. Two old small binding holes in the center of the upper margin. All margins.
The subjects are derived from grisaille decorations now lost, made by Polydore de Caravaggio on the facade of a house in the Quirinal in Rome.
