The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus 1588 Hendrick Goltzius Netherlandish In 1588 Goltzius made several iconic prints that pushed beyond the elegant Mannerism of Bartholomeus Spranger to a more exaggerated muscular style. Perhaps the most dramatic is this horrifying portrayal of The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus, after a painting by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem in the National Gallery, London (accession no. NG1893). The subject is taken from Book III of Ovids Metamorphoses. The engraving illustrates two scenes from the story of Cadmus, the prince of Tyre, whose sister Europa was abducted by Zeus. While searching for her, Cadmus sent his companions to find a spring so he could offer a sacrifice to Zeus; however, it was guarded by a fierce dragon. The dragon immediately killed Cadmuss soldiers and when the prince discovered their bodies, he vowed to avenge them.In the foreground we are confronted with the intertwined nude bodies of two ofsoldiers. rs.
