Bilder Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) – Statue of Bacchus Drappe – Engraving (c. 1590)

Beskrivning

This detailed engraving depicts a marble statue of the Roman god Bacchus (Dionysus), shown standing in a contrapposto pose. The god is nude, wearing a crown of grape leaves and holding a piece of drapery adorned with vines over a tree trunk serving as a support. The print reflects the Mannerist influence of the late 16th century in the dramatic musculature and stylized stance of the figure. This engraving was created as a systematic plate for a collection documenting famous classical sculptures.

Hendrick Goltzius was a leading Dutch Mannerist painter and one of the most celebrated printmakers in history, known for his extraordinary technical mastery of the burin. Based primarily in Haarlem, he produced a vast body of work featuring mythological subjects, portraits, and reproductive prints after famous classical sculptures and Italian masters, heavily influencing the course of Dutch art.
