For artists working in the Low Countries, a trip to Italy was considered a right of passage. Following his master Goltzius to Rome, Jacob Matham supplemented his large oeuvre of engravings after the antique, with a print celebrating Michelangelo’s sculpture, Savior with the Cross, Standing. Before the seventeenth century, there were very few prints of contemporary sculpture in Rome. Michelangelo was the exception, having been recognized as a genius in his own lifetime.
