Farnese Hercules, ca. 1592, dated 1617, Engraving, sheet: 16 9/16 x 11 15/16 in. (42. 1 x 30. 4 cm), Prints, Hendrick Goltzius (Netherlandish, Muhlbracht 1558?1617 Haarlem), It was Goltzius' poor health as well as his desire to see the treasures of Rome that inspired him to travel to Italy in 1590?91. Supposedly, the famed Dutch printmaker traveled incognito in order to avoid social obligations that might distract from his real purpose, which was sketching and studying antique sculptures
