Helios (h.371; B.234; S.419; Bialler 10b) is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1588 during the Northern Renaissance. Goltzius, known for his virtuoso engraving technique, depicted the Greek sun god Helios in this work as part of a series that illustrates the deities associated with the classical planets. The engraving is characterized by its meticulous detail, dynamic composition, and the use of chiaroscuro to create a dramatic effect.

The image of Helios is central to the composition, with the god shown driving his chariot across the sky, pulled by four spirited horses. The scene captures the moment of the sun's daily journey, symbolizing the passage of time and the unrelenting power of nature. Goltzius's mastery of the burin is evident in the intricate lines and textures that bring to life the god's radiant aura and the muscular forms of the horses.

Helios (h.371; B.234; S.419; Bialler 10b) is part of Goltzius's iconographic exploration of mythological and allegorical subjects, which was influenced by his study of classical sculpture and Italian art. The work reflects the humanist interests of the period, as artists and scholars looked to ancient texts and artifacts for inspiration.

This engraving is catalogued in several major references on Goltzius's oeuvre, including the Hollstein (h.371), Bartsch (B.234), Strauss (S.419), and Bialler (10b) catalogues, which are standard resources for the study of European prints. The piece is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike and is considered a significant example of Goltzius's contribution to the art of engraving. It remains an important work for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the enduring influence of classical mythology in European culture.
