"Sacrificio di Ifigenia" is an engraving by the French artist Nicolas Beatrizet, who was active during the 16th century. The work is based on the ancient Greek myth of Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, who was to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Artemis. According to the legend, Artemis was angered by Agamemnon after he killed a sacred deer in a grove dedicated to her and subsequently boasted that he was a better hunter than the goddess. In retaliation, Artemis calmed the winds, preventing the Greek fleet from sailing to Troy, and demanded the sacrifice of Iphigenia as a condition to allow the fleet to proceed.

Beatrizet's engraving captures the dramatic moment of the intended sacrifice, with Iphigenia being presented at the altar by her father Agamemnon. The work is notable for its intricate detail and the emotional intensity conveyed through the expressions and postures of the characters. It reflects the Mannerist style of the period, characterized by complex composition, elongated figures, and heightened drama.

Nicolas Beatrizet, who lived from around 1515 to approximately 1565, was known for his engravings after the works of other artists, including those of the Italian Renaissance. He was particularly influenced by the works of Michelangelo and Raphael, and his engravings helped to disseminate the Italian style throughout Europe. "Sacrificio di Ifigenia" is one of several mythological and historical subjects that Beatrizet depicted, showcasing his skill in translating the grandeur and pathos of such narratives into the medium of print.

The engraving is an important example of Beatrizet's oeuvre and of the broader cultural transmission of classical themes through the art of the Renaissance and into the Baroque period. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the reception of classical mythology in early modern European art and the development of engraving as a form of artistic expression.
