You see Galatea floating on the sea, pulled by two giant fish. Her long hair and blue robes billow in the wind. Around her, smaller sea creatures and cherubs splash through the waves. This isn’t original art—it’s an engraving. Goltzius copied Raphael’s painting but added his own cross-hatching style. The lines are so fine they trick your eye into seeing real waves and foam. Look up one of these next: Goltzius, Hendrick
