Derweil im Leben von Hendrick Goltzius

Move to Haarlem
He followed Coornhert to Haarlem, where he remained for the rest of his life. There the publisher Philips Galle hired him to engrave a series of prints on the story of Lucretia; in the following years Goltzius engraved after the designs of other artists for Coornhert and for Antwerp publishers.

Marriage to a wealthy widow
At 21 he married a wealthy widow considerably older than himself. The "unequal marriage" gave him economic independence: he bought a house, opened his own engraving workshop, and two years later took on two apprentices.
1580
Beginning of his own publishing activity
He apparently began publishing prints on his own.
late 1580s
Depression and consumption
From the late 1580s he suffered from depression and consumption; his family life was unhappy.

Meeting Karel van Mander
He met the painter and his future biographer Karel van Mander, a refugee from Flanders, who introduced him to the drawings of Bartholomeus Spranger, then working in Prague for Rudolf II. Spranger's works exerted a significant influence on Goltzius's art.
