1589
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Deities: Nox is a 1589 by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, depicting Haarlem, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a chariot, holding a torch and a cloth. She is surrounded by clouds and a bird perched on the chariot. The woman is depicted in a classical style, with flowing robes and a serene expression. The chariot and the woman's pose evoke a sense of movement and energy, while the clouds and the bird add a sense of lightness and freedom. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and the torch she holds. The painting's classical style and use of chiaroscuro are reminiscent of the Renaissance period. To learn more about this style, look up the Renaissance movement.
