EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Hendrik Goltzius' masterpiece, "Phaeton, from The Four Disgracers" created in 1588. In this circular composition, Goltzius takes inspiration from ancient Greek mythology to depict the tragic downfall of Phaeton. The image showcases a male figure, Phaeton, who is portrayed in his moment of disgrace and fall. With meticulous engraving skills, Goltzius brings out every intricate detail of the scene. Phaeton's nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and serves as a reminder of his audacity to drive the sun chariot against Zeus' wishes. Goltzius was a prominent artist during the Northern Renaissance period in Netherlandish art. His expertise shines through in this tondo-shaped artwork that exudes both classical elegance and emotional intensity. This print is housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, known for its extensive collection spanning centuries and cultures. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Greek mythology while appreciating Goltzius' mastery of line work and composition. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece by Hendrik Goltzius, we are reminded not only of Phaeton's tragic tale but also how art can transcend time and bring ancient stories back to life.
