"The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" is a notable engraving by the French artist Nicolas Beatrizet, who was active during the 16th century. This 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, and in retaliation, she stilled the winds, preventing the Greek fleet from sailing to Troy. The only way to appease the goddess and allow the fleet to proceed was to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia.

Beatrizet's engraving captures the dramatic moment of the intended sacrifice, showcasing his mastery of the medium and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. The work is characterized by its intricate detail, dynamic composition, and the emotional intensity of the figures depicted. It reflects the Mannerist style of the period, which is known for its sophisticated and sometimes artificial elegance, as well as its emphasis on the expressive potential of the human body.

Nicolas Beatrizet, who lived from circa 1515 to circa 1565, was renowned for his engravings of religious and mythological scenes, as well as his reproductions of famous artworks of the Renaissance. His works were influential in disseminating the styles and ideas of the Italian Renaissance throughout Europe, particularly in his native France. "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" stands as a testament to Beatrizet's skill as an engraver and his contribution to the art of printmaking during the Renaissance.

This engraving not only serves as an important example of Beatrizet's oeuvre but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic interests of the period, where classical themes were revisited and reinterpreted through the lens of contemporary artistic movements. The piece remains an important work for scholars studying the reception of classical mythology in Renaissance art, as well as for those interested in the history of engraving and printmaking.
