{"product_id":"apollo-hendrick-goltzius","title":"Apollo - Hendrick Goltzius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA masterful 1588 engraving by Hendrick Goltzius depicting the sun god Apollo, showcasing the technical precision and Mannerist style of the Dutch Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Hendrick Goltzius depicts the sun god Apollo, a figure central to classical mythology. Created in 1588, the work is part of a series representing the deities of the planets. Goltzius, a master of the burin, demonstrates his technical command through the varied weight and direction of his lines. These marks define the muscular anatomy of the god, the billowing drapery, and the atmospheric clouds surrounding him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApollo stands in a contrapposto pose, his body twisted to show the influence of Italian Mannerism on the Dutch artist. He holds a lyre, his traditional attribute, while his chariot is visible in the background, emerging from the clouds. The composition is contained within an oval frame, a common format for allegorical prints of the period. Latin inscriptions are integrated into the radiant halo behind his head, reinforcing the celestial nature of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoltzius was known for his ability to mimic the textures of skin, fabric, and light through engraving alone. The swelling and tapering of his lines create a sense of volume and movement that was highly regarded by his contemporaries. This print is a fine example of the sophisticated graphic style that defined the Haarlem school at the end of the sixteenth century. The work reflects the period interest in humanism and the revival of classical themes in Northern European art. Collectors of the era valued such prints for their display of virtuosity and their clear, legible narrative content. Today, it remains a clear record of the technical heights reached by Dutch printmakers during the late Renaissance.\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=\"\/products\/apollo-standing-on-the-clouds-jacob-matham\" 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;\"\u003eApollo Standing on the Clouds by Jacob Matham\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pan-and-syrinx-hendrick-goltzius\" 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;\"\u003ePan and Syrinx - Hendrick Goltzius by Hendrik Goltzius\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hendrick-goltzius\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHendrick Goltzius prints →\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":59462189646159,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59462281855311,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59462281888079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59462281920847,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59462281953615,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59462281986383,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59462282019151,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59462282051919,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59462282084687,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59462282117455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59462282150223,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59462282182991,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Apollo_Poster_CompositorV1_1792113573673.jpg?v=1794359033","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/apollo-hendrick-goltzius","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
