Passion and Virtuosity
Known as the master Dutch engraver of his time, as important for engraving as Rembrandt was for etching, Hendrick Goltzius was a pivotal printmaker of the late 16th century.

Wrapped around all this is the gut-churning rapids of the Findhorn and the effect it has on those challenging its treacherous waters.
