Hebe 1510 - 1569

Jacob Binck’s “Hebe” is an engraving from the period between 1510 and 1569. The piece depicts Hebe, the goddess of youth in Greek mythology, in a classical pose, standing within an arch. The use of hatched lines and the detailed rendering of her figure are characteristic of the artist's style. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, and demonstrates the continued popularity of classical themes in Renaissance art.
