Icarus (1588)
Hendrick Goltzius (1558 - 1617)
Engraving | Kupferstich
From the series of four falling mythological figures called "The Four Disgracers | Die vier Himmelsstürmer". This series "ranks among the masterpieces of printmaking. No engraver before Goltzius had expressed the illusion of three-dimensionality so convincingly." canon.codart.nl/artwork/the-four-disgracers/
From the exhibition "Dürer, Munch, Miró - The Great Masters of Printmaking" in the ALBERTINA in Vienna www.albertina.at/en/exhibitions/duerer-munch-miro-the-gre...
The name Goltzius, it seems, doesn't sound sexy enough to be included in the title of such an exhibition, but actually it would definitely have belonged there, because Grotzius, "the leading Dutch engraver of the early Baroque period, or Northern Mannerism", was most certainly a great master of printmaking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrick_Goltzius
