Details

Dutch engraver and painter, noted as an engraver of several paintings by Adam Elsheimer. His father had been ennobled by Henri IV in 1596, Hendrick himself was titled "Ridder" (Knight). Goudt worked with Elsheimer in Rome until the latter's death in 1610. By 1611, he had returned to Utrecht, where he became a member of the newly founded Utrecht Guild of Saint Luke in that year. In Utrecht, he made a series of five prints of Elsheimer's work (popularizing, for example, Flight into Egypt), and also painted several copies of Elsheimer's paintings. He died insane in Utrecht. //
