Goltzius worked in a sensuous style that exaggerated musculature and proportions. Pluto, shown from behind with accentuated buttocks and feet firmly planted on the ground, overlooks a fiery landscape and stands next to an urn from which flow the four rivers of Hades. In the print below, Tethys glides across the sea on a shell-form chariot drawn by fantastical dolphins, with her sea-nymph daughters in the background. The associations of the prints with fire and water relate to Goltzius’s interest in alchemy and elemental transformations. Goltzius used the chiaroscuro woodcut technique—printing multiple blocks inked in different tones—to give the works their characteristic coloring, described in the seventeenth century as a kind of “printed painting.”\n</p>","remarks":"European Pavilion Rotation July 2026 (group chat x1934-692, -694)"}],"datebegin":1578,"sortnumber":"1934  692x","published_date":"2026-08-12 02:00:34.886129","objectid":47708,"dimensions":"block (sheet trimmed to block): 34.3 × 24.9 cm (13 1/2 × 9 13/16 in.)","on_view":true}
