Rots aan een kust 1597 - 1600

Hendrick Goltzius, a Dutch printmaker, created the engraving "Rots aan een kust" between 1597 and 1600. This small print, measuring just 114mm by 145mm, depicts a rocky coastline with a dramatic sky and a small ship sailing in the distance. Goltzius's mastery of detail and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and atmosphere, showcasing the beauty of the natural world. The artwork's composition and detailed textures highlight Goltzius's skill in the printmaking medium, making it a standout example of his artistic talent. "Rots aan een kust" is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
