HENDRICK GOLTZIUS
Three Goddesses Seated in the Clouds.

Set of 3 engravings, 1596. Each 342x262 mm; 13 1/2x10 1/2 inches, narrow to thread margins. Each with small shield of crowned coat-of-arms watermark. Superb, early, richly-inked impressions, with very strong contrasts and no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of these engravings; extremely scarce in the complete set.

These engravings of goddess — Pallas (Athena), Venus (and Cupid), and Juno--formerly attributed to Jan Saenredam (1565-1607) are now believed to be by Goltzius (1558-1617). Hollstein 63-65 (Saenredam); New Hollstein 141-143 (Goltzius).
