By 1562 the find was already included in the set of engravings for Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae ("Mirror of Rome's Magnificence")[1] and connoisseurs, artists and tourists gaped at the original, which stood in the courtyard of the Palazzo Farnese, protected under the arcade.
In 1590-91, during his trip to Rome, Hendrik Goltzius sketched the statue in the palazzo courtyard.
Later (in 1617) Goltzius recorded the less common rear view, by working up a bravura engraving (illustration, right), which emphasizes the already exaggerated muscular form with swelling and tapering lines that flow over the contours.

Goltzius was born in 1558, in the middle of a war zone, as Spanish armies arrived to crush the rebel Flemish and Dutch.
Hendrick’s first teacher, the engraver, poet, and philosopher Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert, was a relic of an older, learned, relatively tolerant Catholicism about to be smashed between the grindstones of Calvinist iconoclasm and Counter-Reformation image veneration.
No wonder, then, that when Goltzius came to engrave a “Massacre of the Innocents,” in 1585-86, as the war was going badly, he produced a coiled knot of terrorized figures—distraught mothers, old men pathetically trying to take stabbing blows aimed at infants—with a heroically modelled nude captain calmly surveying the butchery from the foreground.

Hendrick Goltzius, the most important Dutch artist of his generation and a founder of the seventeenth-century Haarlem school, was born in Muhlbracht in 1558.
In 1577, Goltzius settled in Haarlem, where he made numerous reproduced engravings for the Antwerp publisher Philip Galle, and by 1582 had established a flourishing atelier in which prints of his own invention were also made and published.

For Goltzius, the transit of desire is also the circulation of coinage, for wealth is the reward secured by the seductive charm of coloring.
In fact, Goltzius had already displayed his command of "colorito" in prints and drawings of the 1590s, chief among them the "Pygmalion and the Ivory Statue" of 1593, as I have argued elsewhere [2].
This view accords with the argument of Jacob Matham's engraved "Epitaph of Hendrick Goltzius", issued to mark the master's death in 1617: Matham embellishes the pediment enframing his stepfather's portrait with reclining personifications of painting and drawing, whose hands are joined by the linking figure of engraving that stands between and towers above them.

In Goltzius, a true graphic genius, one gets the sense of a determined yet mercurial sensibility intent not only on the mastery of all techniques but also all art history.
Goltzius began as an engraver, quickly mastering the existing techniques that had already grown formulaic by the 1570s, barely a century after their first flowering.
Finally, in 1600, Goltzius gave up engraving altogether and devoted the last years of his life exclusively to drawing and, more significantly, to painting, a medium in which he had previously shown little interest.
