オケアノス
1588-90
Meet Oceanus, the Titan god of the sea, looking like a bodybuilder on a wild ride! Hendrick Goltzius, a Dutch master of the Mannerist movement, created this intense scene around 1590. You can spot his signature 'HG.F' at the bottom, standing for 'Hendrick Goltzius made this.' The exaggerated, bulging muscles and the swirling, chaotic background—complete with a naval battle—are classic Mannerist traits designed to show off maximum drama. Goltzius was legendary for his engraving skills, using lines that swell and taper to make flat ink look like bulging 3D forms.
