Made after designs by his compatriot Cornelisz. van Haarlem, this suite of engravings vividly chronicles the fate of four mythological characters who dared to challenge the gods.</P>\r\nTwo of the roundels depict darker scenes: the fiery descents of Tantalus, who killed his own son to feed the gods, and of Ixion, who ill-advisedly sought to seduce Zeus’s wife Juno. These tumbling figures balance the brighter images of Icarus and Phaeton: having flown too close to the sun, they hurtle downward, toward minute landscapes. Depicting the same muscular nude from different angles, the four prints collectively form a single sculpture in the round, demonstrating Goltzius’s masterful evocation of three-dimensionality through his virtuoso engraving technique.</P></SPAN>","remarks":"K1-3 rotation November 2019, K1-3 rotation October 2014 (group chat for x1934-679, x1934-680, x1934-681, x1934-682) "}],"media":[{"id":103447,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV28166","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Inventory Project"},{"id":8007,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/x1934-681_GS","isprimary":0,"rank":10,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"<P><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif'>F.W.H.
