Apollo 1588 Hendrick Goltzius Netherlandish The elegant figure of Apollo strides forward on a swirling bank of clouds. The sun god's hair rises in the air like flames. The inscription, which would usually be in a straight line at the bottom of the print, here encircles Apollo's head like a halo. Such a bravura play on the conventions of engraving is a hallmark of Goltzius's Mannerist style. This engraving is one of his early displays of the so-called bulbous style, characterized by an unnatural exaggeration of musculature accentuated by the engraver's swelling and tapering lines that turn with the forms. Apollo. Hendrick Goltzius (Netherlandish, Mühlbracht 1558-1617 Haarlem). 1588. Engraving. Prints
