"The Nine Muses" is a renowned series of engravings by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in the late 16th century. Goltzius (1558–1617), a master printmaker, draftsman, and painter, was a prominent figure in the Northern Mannerist movement, which was characterized by its highly stylized and often complex compositions. His work on "The Nine Muses" is considered a significant contribution to the iconography of the Muses in art history.

The series depicts the nine Muses of Greek mythology, who were considered the inspirational goddesses of the arts and sciences. Each Muse is traditionally associated with a specific realm of the arts and scholarship, and Goltzius's engravings capture the distinct attributes and symbols that are commonly linked with each figure. For instance, Calliope is often shown with a writing tablet as the Muse of epic poetry, while Melpomene holds a tragic mask to represent her connection to tragedy.

Goltzius's engravings are noted for their intricate detail, dynamic composition, and the fusion of classical ideals with the ornate style of the late Renaissance. His portrayal of the Muses reflects both an adherence to classical sources and the influence of contemporary humanist thought. The series not only showcases Goltzius's virtuosity as an engraver but also serves as an allegorical reference to the intellectual and cultural pursuits of the period.

"The Nine Muses" by Hendrick Goltzius is a testament to the artist's technical skill and his ability to convey complex ideas through the medium of print. The series has been studied for its artistic merit, its reflection of Renaissance humanism, and its impact on the visual arts. It remains an important work for scholars interested in the intersection of mythology, art, and the cultural context of the late 16th century.
