Talk:Hendrick Goltzius

POV
It seems to me that this entry is written from a quite evident editorial point of view. A great many aesthetic judgements are presented here as fact. For example "In his command of the burin Goltzius is not surpassed even by Dürer; but his technical skill is not equally aided by higher artistic qualities." What, exactly, are these "higher artistic qualities." Further, the editorial point of view represented is highly antiquated within the field of art history and the aesthetic judgements are not shared by most scholars working on Goltzius in the best couple of decades. See, for example, Walter Mellion's essays or the exhibition catalog Hendrick Goltzius (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2003). --Sean Roberts 15:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Apart, I think, from the two penultimate paragraphs, this is all from the 1911 Encyclopedia Brtannica (see tag at end). You are very welcome to improve it. Johnbod 15:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Goltzius's right hand
Shouldn't the story related at burin be mentioned here? &mdash; Sebastian 04:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Done, briefly. Johnbod (talk) 15:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I am sorry - after sleeping over it, I realized that that actually seems to be original research. When I first read it, I saw this as a connection with him being a printmaker, and thought about the burin's use for wood engraving. However, I now realize that wood engraving wasn't invented until long after his death. Would anybody have any source that the shape of his hand helped him with his art? &mdash; Sebastian 18:59, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * More added. He did engraving not the wood variety. Johnbod (talk) 22:59, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

The image shows 'labor et diligentia' (work and diligence) not 'opes et industriam'. I believe the caption should be rectified even if 'industry' is used in the meaning of 'diligence' here, and 'labor' certainly means 'work' not 'wealth'. --TadejM my talk 00:04, 23 August 2023 (UTC)


 * As there has been no objection or other input, I have now corrected this and added a scholarly reference. --TadejM my talk 19:15, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
