Hendrik Goudt Biography

(b The Hague, 1583; d Utrecht, 1648). Dutch engraver, draughtsman and painter. He was the illegitimate son of Arend Goudt and Anneken Cool. On 10 January 1604 the marriage—and hence the son—was legitimized. Hendrik’s mother suffered from hysteria, which may account for his later insanity. He possibly trained in The Hague under Simon Frisius but modelled his style on Jacques de Gheyn II, who was in The Hague from 1598, and Hendrick Goltzius, whose engraved figures Goudt adapted. It is likely that Goudt’s skill in calligraphy—shown in the elaborate inscriptions on his engravings—was learnt from Jan van de Velde II, who dedicated one of the pages of the Spieghel der schrijftkonst (1605) to Goudt. The only authenticated works from this period appear to be such drawings as the Mocking of Christ (Berlin, Kupferstichkab.), a possibly signed Female Nude (sold London, Christie’s, 7 April 1981, lot 122) and a signed copy (Amsterdam, Rijksmus.) after Lucas van Leyden’s engraving Virgilius the Magician in a Basket (B . 136). What Goudt produced between these works and his better-known engravings of 1608 remains a mystery.
