"Thalia (from The Nine Muses)" is an engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in the late 16th century. Goltzius, known for his virtuosity in printmaking, was a leading figure in the Northern Mannerist movement, which was characterized by its complex compositions, elongated figures, and highly refined technique. The engraving is part of a series depicting the Nine Muses of Greek mythology, who were considered the inspirational goddesses of the arts and sciences.

Thalia, whose name means "the joyous, the flourishing," is traditionally associated with comedy and bucolic poetry. In this work, Goltzius presents her in a dynamic pose, capturing both her grace and the essence of her domain in the arts. She is often depicted with a comic mask, a shepherd's staff, or a wreath of ivy, symbols that allude to her role in pastoral poetry and the comedic arts.

Goltzius's depiction of Thalia is notable for its intricate detail and the use of chiaroscuro, which enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figure. The engraving showcases his skill in creating textures and depth, as well as his ability to convey the personality and attributes of the muse through visual means.

As part of the larger series on the Muses, Goltzius's work reflects the humanist interest in classical antiquity that was prevalent during the Renaissance. The series would have appealed to the educated elite of the time, who saw the Muses as embodiments of intellectual and artistic pursuits. Today, "Thalia (from The Nine Muses)" is appreciated not only for its historical and mythological significance but also as an example of the technical mastery and aesthetic sensibilities of the late Renaissance period in Northern Europe. The engraving remains an important work in the oeuvre of Hendrick Goltzius and continues to be studied for its contribution to the history of art and printmaking.
