    A brilliant draftsman and noteworthy painter, Goltzius (1558-1617) is most famous as a printmaker, arguably the greatest printmaker working in the later 16th century. Selected from the collection of Kirk Long, which has been promised as a gift to the Center, and augmented by works in the Center's collection, this exhibition features many of the artist's most famous and influential images. Including his monumental Marriage of Psyche and Cupid, a dazzling impression of the color woodcut Hercules and Cacus, and his moving engraving The Body of Christ, the show illuminates the thematic range and technical virtuosity of this truly exceptional artist. A complimentary rotation in the Early European Gallery highlights works by the artists in his immediate circle.
