Plutão
1588-90
Hendrick Goltzius captures the god of the underworld in this intense Mannerist engraving, showcasing a muscular Pluto wrestling his three-headed dog, Cerberus. The dramatic pose and exaggerated anatomy are hallmarks of the style, designed to show off the artist's incredible skill with the burin. Framed by an architectural arch and winged figures, this print was part of a famous series depicting Roman gods that circulated widely across Europe.
