Besides the difficulties of managing distinct light sources\n\t<br />\n\tand the paradox of depicting what was meant to be shrouded in shadow, printmakers had to develop methods for rendering darkness in a purely\n\t\n\tlinear medium. Goudt became adept at engraving dark scenes with dramatic gradations of light using only dense grids of hatched lines. His technique\n\n\tinfluenced printmakers such as Van de Velde and, later, Rembrandt. Although similar in format and style, these two prints’ subjects are completely different. Goudt depicted a story from Ovid’s first-century Metamorphoses in which the goddess Ceres stops for water while searching for her abducted\n\n\tdaughter, Proserpina, and is mocked by a child for her thirst. She rewards his insolence by transforming him into a lizard. Van de Velde illustrated a contemporary street scene—the nighttime celebration of Vastenavond, or Shrove Tuesday, the festival preceding Lent.\n</p>","remarks":"EUR_STR_3-T5-A1_CLA-Day 1 Cataloguing (group chat for x1934-468 and x1960-49) "},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"<span lang=\"EN\">Jules Gerbeau (1833–1906, Lugt 1156).

Angered, she spat at the boy and turned him into a speckled lizard. Like all of Goudt’s prints, this one reproduces a work by the German painter Elsheimer, with whom Goudt studied in Rome between 1604 and 1610. Elsheimer’s innovative nocturnal interpretations of religious and mythological subjects, incorporating both natural and artificial light sources, were disseminated through Goudt’s so-called black prints; their inky darkness, here achieved with virtuoso engraving, influenced Rembrandt’s atmospheric night etchings.</P></SPAN>","remarks":"K2 paper rotation--In the Dark "}],"media":[{"id":192526,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV28252","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Inventory Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"<P><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif'>F.W.H.
