Dating to approximately 1592, 'Pluto' represents a masterful dialogue between two titans of the Northern Renaissance and Italian Mannerism. Engraved by Hendrik Goltzius after a design by Polidoro da Caravaggio, this work captures the Roman god of the underworld with an extraordinary, muscular dynamism and architectural precision. Goltzius’s swelling line work translates Polidoro’s Roman classicism into a powerful graphic medium, showcasing the dramatic chiaroscuro and anatomical intensity characteristic of the era. This historic masterpiece is reproduced with absolute fidelity, presented on both archival paper and canvas formats. Each format is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors the integrity of the original plate.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
