About the Item
HENDRICK GOLTZIUS
1558 Mühlbracht – Haarlem 1617
Apollo 1588
engraving
Bartsch 141; Hirschmann and Hollstein 131; Strauss 263
PROVENANCE
Karl Anton, Prince of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen (Lugt 2759)
R.S. Johnson Fine Art, Chicago, Works on Paper from Five Centuries, 1995, no. 35
With its stylized elegance, this engraving of the sun god Apollo marks one of the highpoints of Goltzius’s so-called “Spranger period.” One of its most characteristic features are the well developed muscles of the male nudes which are here create an intriguing interplay with the figure’s somewhat feminine pose.
The lyre at Apollo’s feet represents his role as protector of the arts which, according to the aesthetic discourse of the time, allows for an interpretation of the image as an “allegorical affirmation” of the position of the artist: like the god who, according to the inscription around Apollo’s head, eradicates darkness on earth, the artist “brings to mankind the light of his knowledge and his art” (Eva Korazija in cat. Zurich, 1982, no. 23).

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) Spanish painter and sculptor is one of the most recognized figures of twentieth century art. During his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of works using all kinds of mediums. He changed art more profoundly than any other artist of his time. First famous for pioneering cubism, Picasso continued to develop his art with a pace and vitality comparable to the accelerated technological and cultural changes of the twentieth century. Each change embodied a radical idea, and might be said that Picasso lived several artistic lifetimes. ABOUT SELLER DO YOU HAVE ARTWORK TO SELL?
