Hendrick Goltzius, a prominent Dutch printmaker, draftsman, and painter of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, is renowned for his masterful engravings and detailed works that exemplify the Mannerist style. One of his notable works is the "Pieta" (Hollstein 50; Strauss 331), an engraving that captures the poignant moment of the Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Christ. This piece is a testament to Goltzius's technical prowess and his ability to convey deep emotion through intricate lines and shading.

The "Pieta" by Goltzius is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the emotional gravity of the scene. The composition is marked by the delicate rendering of the figures, with the Virgin Mary's sorrowful expression and the lifeless form of Christ evoking a profound sense of grief and compassion. Goltzius's use of line work to create texture and depth is particularly evident in the folds of the drapery and the anatomical precision of the figures, showcasing his exceptional skill in engraving.

This work is part of Goltzius's broader oeuvre, which includes a series of religious and mythological subjects that reflect the artistic trends and spiritual concerns of his time. The "Pieta" stands out not only for its technical excellence but also for its emotional resonance, making it a significant example of Goltzius's contribution to the art of engraving. It is cataloged as Hollstein 50 and Strauss 331, indicating its recognition and documentation in major references on Goltzius's prints.

Goltzius's "Pieta" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its ability to convey the universal themes of suffering and compassion. It remains an important work within the context of Northern European Mannerism and the broader history of printmaking.
