Goltzius, a master of the burin, employs a sophisticated system of swelling and tapering lines to model the musculature of the figure. The anatomy is exaggerated, a hallmark of the Northern Mannerist style, which prioritises expressive form over strict naturalism. The hero stands in a dynamic, contrapposto pose, his body twisted to convey movement and tension. \n\nIn the background, a secondary scene shows the aftermath of the combat, providing narrative context to the primary figure. The foreground features a discarded shield and armour, elements that anchor the composition and demonstrate the artist's technical ability to render varied textures, from the metallic sheen of the helmet to the soft folds of the drapery. The Latin inscription at the base provides a classical framing for the image, linking the visual representation to the historical accounts of Livy. \n\nAs a printmaker, Goltzius was highly influential in the late sixteenth century. His work often explored the limits of the engraving medium, using cross-hatching and varied line weights to achieve a sculptural quality on a two-dimensional surface. This print is part of a series focusing on Roman heroes, reflecting the period's fascination with classical antiquity and the moral virtues associated with such figures. The clarity of the line work and the dramatic posture of Torquatus demonstrate the technical precision that defined the Haarlem school of printmaking during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/combat-of-the-sea-gods-andrea-mantegna\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCombat of the Sea Gods - Andrea Mantegna — Andrea Mantegna\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/cruelty-in-perfection-william-hogarth\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCruelty in Perfection - William Hogarth — William Hogarth\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hendrick Goltzius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027291083087,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027291509071,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027291541839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027291574607,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58027291607375,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Titus-Manlius-Torquatus_Poster_CompositorV1_1782185290435.jpg?v=1782185418"},{"product_id":"clio-hendrick-goltzius","title":"Clio - Hendrick Goltzius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA masterful engraving by Hendrick Goltzius depicting Clio, the Muse of history, rendered with precise line work and classical grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Hendrick Goltzius depicts Clio, the Muse of history, seated in a contemplative pose. As one of the nine Muses in Greek mythology, she is traditionally associated with the recording of past events. Goltzius presents her with a stylus in her right hand and a writing tablet in her left, while volumes of historical records lie at her feet. The composition is characteristic of the Northern Mannerist style, which prioritises technical virtuosity and a refined, elongated grace in the human figure.\n\nGoltzius was a master of the burin, and this work demonstrates his ability to create volume and texture through precise, swelling lines. The drapery of Clio's gown is rendered with a sophisticated system of hatching and cross-hatching, which gives the fabric a tangible weight and presence. The background, composed of dark, rhythmic strokes, provides a stark contrast to the illuminated figure, drawing the viewer's attention to her serene expression and the tools of her craft. The Latin inscription at the base of the print identifies the subject and provides a classical context for her role as the guardian of historical memory.\n\nThe print is part of a series representing the Muses, a common subject for printmakers of the late sixteenth century who sought to demonstrate their skill in anatomy and classical iconography. Goltzius, who was based in Haarlem, was instrumental in the development of Dutch printmaking, and his influence spread across Europe through the wide circulation of his engravings. This piece is a clear example of his technical control, showing how he could manipulate the copper plate to achieve a range of tonal values without the use of wash or colour. The clarity of the line work and the balanced composition reflect the intellectual rigour of the period, where art was often used to convey complex allegorical meanings to a learned

technical line work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Hendrick Goltzius depicts the Roman hero Marcus Valerius Corvus, a figure from early Roman history known for his legendary duel against a Gaul. Goltzius, a master of the burin, demonstrates his technical command through the use of swelling and tapering lines to define the musculature of the central figure. The composition is characteristic of Northern Mannerism, featuring an exaggerated, muscular physique viewed from behind, which allows the artist to showcase his ability to render complex anatomical forms and drapery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure stands in a contrapposto stance, his body turned away from the viewer to reveal the tension in his back and legs. He wears an ornate helmet and carries a shield, while a sword hangs at his side. In the background, a smaller-scale battle scene unfolds, providing context to the hero's narrative. The landscape is minimal, serving only to ground the figure and provide a sense of scale. Goltzius employs a sophisticated system of hatching and cross-hatching to create volume and texture, particularly in the metallic sheen of the armour and the folds of the cloak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is part of a series of Roman heroes, reflecting the interest of the period in classical antiquity and the display of heroic virtue. The Latin inscription at the base provides the historical context for the scene, referencing the intervention of a raven during the duel, which earned the hero his cognomen, Corvus. The print demonstrates the artist's influence by the Italian masters, particularly Michelangelo, whose influence is evident in the heroic proportions and dynamic posture of the figure.

The work belongs to a series of prints representing the Olympian deities, often referred to as the 'Disgracers' or similar mythological cycles produced during the late sixteenth century.

It depicts the mythological hero Hercules in a state of exaggerated muscularity, a hallmark of the Northern Mannerist style. The figure is rendered with extreme anatomical precision, showcasing the artist's technical command over the burin. Goltzius utilised a technique of swelling and tapering lines to create a sense of volume and three-dimensional form, which was highly innovative for the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dominated by the central figure of Hercules, who stands in a contrapposto pose. He is draped in the Nemean lion skin, with the animal's head resting atop his own. The background contains smaller scenes depicting the labours of Hercules, providing context to the hero's narrative. The engraving is not merely a study of the human form, but a display of virtuosity that sought to rival the classical sculptures of antiquity, such as the Farnese Hercules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoltzius was known for his ability to mimic the styles of other masters, yet this work is distinctly his own.

While the composition is based on a design by Anthonie Blocklandt, the execution is by the Dutch master Hendrick Goltzius. The print depicts two figures in an intimate embrace, symbolising the necessary partnership between hard work and careful application to achieve artistic or intellectual success.

As part of a series representing the nine Muses, the work demonstrates the technical mastery of the Dutch Mannerist school. Goltzius employs a sophisticated system of swelling lines, a technique he developed to create volume and texture through the varying pressure of his burin. The figure of Euterpe is seated, playing a flute, with a second instrument resting on the ground beside her. Two books are placed near her feet, symbolising the intellectual nature of her domain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is defined by the contrast between the figure and the dark, rocky background. Goltzius uses cross-hatching to model the drapery of her robes, giving the fabric a tangible weight and presence.

This print reflects the period interest in humanism and the revival of classical themes within Northern European art. The precision of the line work and the anatomical clarity of the figure are characteristic of Goltzius, who was widely considered the most skilled engraver of his generation.

Created around 1588, this work belongs to a series of four prints depicting the times of day.
