"Pluto" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1589. Goltzius, who lived from 1558 to 1617, was a prolific printmaker, draftsman, and painter, and is often celebrated for his virtuosity in engraving. The work is part of a series of engravings that depict the deities from classical mythology, which also includes his famous representations of Jupiter, Neptune, and other Olympian gods.

The engraving of Pluto embodies the Mannerist style, characterized by its complex composition, exaggerated proportions, and sophisticated allegory. In this work, Goltzius presents Pluto, the god of the underworld in Roman mythology, in a dynamic and powerful pose, which reflects the artist's interest in the human form and his mastery of depicting musculature and movement. The god is often depicted with attributes that signify his dominion over the realm of the dead, such as a bident or a key.

Goltzius's "Pluto" is not only a testament to his skill as an engraver but also reflects the cultural and artistic interests of the late 16th century. The work is imbued with iconographic elements that would have been familiar to contemporary viewers, drawing on classical sources and contemporary humanist thought. The engraving is also notable for its technical excellence, showcasing Goltzius's innovative use of line and his ability to create depth and texture, which has been highly influential in the history of printmaking.

Today, "Pluto" by Hendrick Goltzius is held in high regard 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 artistic merit and as an example of the Northern Renaissance's engagement with classical antiquity.
