"Venus and Adonis" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1590 during the late Renaissance period. The work is a masterful example of Goltzius's skill in engraving and is part of a series of prints that depict scenes from classical mythology. The engraving illustrates the tragic love story of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and Adonis, a mortal youth, as told by Ovid in his work "Metamorphoses."

In the engraving, Goltzius captures the moment of tender yet foreboding interaction between the divine and the mortal. Venus is depicted clinging to Adonis, who is preparing to depart for a hunt, unaware of his impending doom. The composition is rich in allegorical and symbolic elements, reflecting the Mannerist style's penchant for complexity and elegance. Goltzius's use of intricate lines and contrasts between light and shadow demonstrates his exceptional ability to convey texture, form, and emotion, making "Venus and Adonis" not only a narrative piece but also a showcase of the artist's technical prowess.

Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) was a leading figure in the Northern Mannerist movement and is celebrated for his virtuosic engravings and the influence he exerted on the Dutch Golden Age of painting. His works are characterized by their dynamic compositions, sophisticated use of classical references, and the innovative techniques he employed in the medium of printmaking.

"Venus and Adonis" by Goltzius is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike and can be found in the collections of major museums around the world. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities, its place within the context of Goltzius's oeuvre, and its contribution to the development of Dutch art in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period.
