EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Farnese Hercules" by Hendrick Goltzius, a celebrated Netherlandish printmaker from the 16th century. Created around 1592 and dated 1617, this engraving captures the essence of Goltzius' exceptional talent and attention to detail. The sheet measures approximately 16 9/16 x 11 15/16 inches (42.1 x 30.4 cm), offering viewers an intimate glimpse into this masterpiece's intricacies. Goltzius, who hailed from Haarlem, Netherlands, was known for his poor health but possessed an unyielding desire to explore Rome's treasures. Inspired by his yearning to travel Italy in the years between 1590-91, he supposedly embarked on this journey incognito to avoid any social obligations that might distract him from his real purpose - sketching and studying antique sculptures. The Farnese Hercules is one such sculpture that captivated Goltzius during his time in Rome. This iconic piece depicts Hercules leaning on a club while holding apples stolen from Hesperides as part of his Twelve Labors. Through this remarkable print by Artokoloro, we can appreciate not only Goltzius' skillful interpretation of the original sculpture but also gain insight into the artist's dedication and passion for capturing classical beauty through engravings.
