'''Harpocrates''' is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1592. This work is part of Goltzius's iconographic and mythological oeuvre, which often featured gods and allegorical figures rendered with meticulous detail and high technical skill. The engraving depicts Harpocrates, the god of silence, secrets, and confidentiality in Hellenistic religion, adapted from the Egyptian god Horus.

In the engraving, Harpocrates is typically shown with his finger to his lips, a gesture that has become synonymous with silence. Goltzius's representation of the deity is notable for its intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which showcases the artist's mastery of the engraving medium. The work reflects the Northern Mannerist style, characterized by complex compositions, virtuoso technique, and often esoteric subject matter.

Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) was a leading figure in the Dutch Golden Age of printmaking and painting. His works were highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of the period for their exceptional quality and innovative imagery. 'Harpocrates' is no exception, and it exemplifies Goltzius's skill in translating mythological themes into visual art that is both intellectually engaging and aesthetically pleasing.

The engraving of Harpocrates is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention for its artistic merit and as an example of Goltzius's contribution to late 16th-century art. It continues to be studied for its iconography, technique, and place within the broader context of European art history.
