Hendrick Goltzius's "Tantalus, The Four Disgracers" is an engraving created in 1588 as part of his series "The Four Disgracers," which depicts the stories of four characters from Greek mythology who were punished for their pride and ambition. The image shows Tantalus, a mortal who was condemned to eternal thirst and hunger in the afterlife, standing in a pool of water with fruit trees just out of his reach.

In the foreground of the image, four figures known as the "Four Disgracers" are shown mocking Tantalus and his predicament. The figures represent ridicule, shame, contempt, and disgrace, and they embody the moral lesson of the story: the dangers of pride and the consequences of excessive ambition.

Goltzius's engraving is highly detailed and skillfully executed, with intricate lines and shading that create a sense of depth and texture in the scene. The image reflects the influence of classical art and culture on the Renaissance, with its emphasis on the power of myth and allegory to convey moral and philosophical ideas.

"Tantalus, The Four Disgracers" is considered one of Goltzius's most powerful and haunting works, and it reflects the artist's fascination with the darker aspects of human nature. The image is a reminder of the importance of humility and the dangers of pride and ambition, as well as a testament to the enduring power of myth and storytelling to convey important moral and philosophical lessons.
