Catalogue Note
Originally published in Bruges in 1557, this volume is part of a series of republications of Goltzius' works by Moretus. It contains Goltzius's distinctive and magnificent large medallion portraits printed in ochre, which range from Julius Caesar to Ferdinand I. Goltzius's original sequence, which ended with Sigismund of Hungary and Bohemia, has been extended by Caspar Gevaerts.
