Hendrick Goltzius was a German-born Dutch printmaker, draftsman, and painter. He was the leading Dutch engraver of the early Baroque period, or Northern Mannerism, lauded for his sophisticated technique, technical mastership and "exuberance" of his compositions. According to A. Hyatt Mayor, Goltzius "was the last professional engraver who drew with the authority of a good painter and the last who invented many pictures for others to copy". In the middle of his life he also began to produce paintings.

Hendrick Doncker was a Dutch cartographer and publisher of nautical charts, atlases, and books.
An innovator among the first generation of Dutch cartographers, Doncker worked to produce modern nautical charts, which were valued by sailors and a wide audience for their accuracy and precision. Doncker promptly followed geographical discoveries and achieved success by constantly improving and updating old maps, which was a rarity at the time. His major work is the Zee-Atlas (nautical atlas), which was reprinted for 50 years.
