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 exhibit a high degree of technical skill and artistic innovation. One of his notable works is "St. Matthias," an engraving that exemplifies his exceptional ability to combine intricate detail with dynamic composition.

"St. Matthias" is part of a series of engravings depicting the apostles, created by Goltzius around 1589-1590. This series is celebrated for its meticulous attention to anatomical precision and expressive detail, characteristics that have cemented Goltzius's reputation as a leading figure in the Northern Mannerist movement. The engraving of St. Matthias, like others in the series, reflects Goltzius's deep understanding of human anatomy, which he likely honed through his studies of classical sculptures and Renaissance art.

In the depiction of St. Matthias, Goltzius presents the apostle with a sense of gravitas and spiritual intensity. The figure is often shown holding an axe, a symbol associated with his martyrdom, and is rendered with a striking realism that captures both the physical and emotional depth of the subject. The intricate lines and careful shading techniques employed by Goltzius create a sense of volume and texture, bringing the figure to life on the paper.

Goltzius's work on "St. Matthias" not only showcases his technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex theological and emotional themes through his art. The engraving stands as a testament to his skill and his contribution to the art of printmaking during the Dutch Golden Age. Through works like "St. Matthias," Goltzius has left an indelible mark on the history of art, influencing generations of artists who followed in his footsteps.
