The Limburgs Museum in Venlo, the Netherlands, have just opened a new exhibition on the Goltzius family of painters.

According to the museum's website:

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Goltzius family, originally from Venlo, grew into one of Europe’s most well-known families of artists. Their innovative and much-loved work can be found everywhere: from living rooms to royal palaces.

In The Goltzius Family – Masters from Venlo, the Limburgs Museum brings together the full story of the family for the first time. See how generations of the Goltzius family inspired each other, how they worked together and how their talent spread across Europe. Their prints show not only great craftsmanship, but also a close family bond that manages to bridge time and distance.
