"Dies (Helios) (Holl. 371; S. 419; Bialler 31)" is a notable work by Hendrick Goltzius, a Dutch printmaker, draftsman, and painter who was a leading figure in the Dutch Golden Age and a pivotal contributor to the Northern Mannerism movement. Born in Mühlbracht (now part of Bracht, Germany) in 1558, Goltzius was renowned for his virtuosity in engraving, embodying the intricate details and complex iconography characteristic of the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

This particular piece, "Dies (Helios)," showcases Goltzius's mastery in engraving, depicting the figure of Helios, the sun god from Greek mythology, who is often portrayed driving a chariot across the sky. The work is part of a series that explores classical mythology, a common theme in Goltzius's oeuvre, reflecting the humanist interests of the period. The references (Holl. 371; S. 419; Bialler 31) indicate its cataloging in various comprehensive collections of Goltzius's works, highlighting its significance within his body of work and its recognition among scholars and collectors.

Goltzius's technique, characterized by dynamic compositions, intricate detailing, and the effective use of chiaroscuro, is evident in "Dies (Helios)." His ability to convey texture, movement, and emotion through the medium of engraving contributed to his reputation as one of the most skilled engravers of his time. The work not only exemplifies Goltzius's technical prowess but also serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between the Italian Renaissance and the Northern European tradition, as Goltzius was influenced by his travels to Italy and his encounters with the works of contemporaneous Italian masters.

"Dies (Helios)" remains a significant piece for scholars studying the Northern Mannerism movement, Goltzius's artistic legacy, and the broader cultural context of the late Renaissance period. Its depiction of Helios not only illustrates Goltzius's fascination with classical mythology but also reflects the broader Renaissance interest in antiquity, humanism, and the exploration of human nature and the divine through art.
