Jupiter and Mercury in the House of Philemon and Baucis, Hendrik Goudt, engraver, 1612, Netherlands, engraving, Hendrik Goudt made only seven engravings, all after paintings of the revered German painter Adam Elsheimer. Nevertheless Goudt was one of the most influential of all early 17th century Dutch printmakers, not least because of his effect on Rembrandt, particularly his darker or night prints, Goudt’s engravings also influenced Italian and French printmakers. The night scenes of Jacques Callot – including the patterning of cross-hatched lines which created darkness –were adapted from Goudt.
