EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Mars Venus Surprised Vulcan" by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius. Created in 1585, this engraving captures a moment of divine intrigue and passion. The plate measures 13.7 x 21.6 cm, allowing for intricate details to be beautifully etched into the artwork. In this scene from Greek mythology, we witness Mars and Venus caught off guard by Vulcan, the god of fire and metalworking. The composition is filled with tension as Mars and Venus are frozen in their intimate embrace while Vulcan enters unexpectedly. Their expressions reveal shock, embarrassment, and even a hint of guilt. Goltzius skillfully brings these mythological characters to life through his masterful use of line work and shading techniques. Every stroke seems purposeful, adding depth to each figure's form and emphasizing their emotions. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond the characters themselves; he also meticulously renders their surroundings. From the delicate drapery that adorns Venus' body to the intricate tools scattered around Vulcan's forge, every element contributes to creating a rich visual narrative. This print preserves Goltzius' artistic genius for all admirers of classical art to appreciate today. It serves as a testament not only to his technical prowess but also his ability to capture complex human emotions within mythological tales.
