GOLTZIUS, HENDRIK, born at Mühlbrecht, Duchy of Jülich, in Feb., 1558, died in Haarlem, Dec. 29, 1616, or Jan. 1, 1617. Dutch school; history, portrait, and landscape painter, although his great reputation rests upon his skill as an engraver, which was exceptional. He did not begin to paint until he was forty-two years old. Unhappily married to a rich widow much older than himself, he lost his health, and by the advice of his physicians travelled through Germany (1590), then went to Rome and (1592) to Naples. After his return to Haarlem he suffered from the harsh climate and gradually declined. He was a versatile, skilful, and extravagant mannerist, who, like Spranger, delighted in forced attitudes and unnaturally-developed muscles, and caricatured the style of Michelangelo, whom he endeavoured to emulate.

GOMEZ, JACINTO, born at San Ildefonso in 1746, died in 1812. Spanish school. History painter, pupil of Francisco Bayeu; chamber painter to Charles IV. Works: The Angelic Hierarchy adoring the Holy Spirit, Madrid Museum.

GOMEZ, SEBASTIAN, called El Mulato de Murillo, born about 1646 (?), died in Seville in 1682 (?) or 1690 (?). Spanish school, the mulatto slave of Murillo; learned his art by watching his master at work. According to the story, he once ventured to finish a Virgin's head which had been sketched by Murillo, who thereupon encouraged and aided him. His pictures, mostly religious subjects, are defective in drawing and in composition, but are much like Murillo's in colouring.
