介绍（中）	1588年，Goltzius制作了几幅标志性的版画，超越了Bartholomeus Spranger的优雅风格，成为了一种更夸张的肌肉风格。也许最具戏剧性的是这幅可怕的《龙吞噬卡德摩斯的伙伴》，出自科内利斯·科内利兹的一幅画。van Haarlem在伦敦国家美术馆展出（登录号：NG1893）主题取自奥维德的《变形记》第三卷。版画描绘了提尔王子卡德摩斯的故事中的两个场景，他的妹妹欧罗巴被宙斯绑架了。在寻找她的过程中，卡德摩斯派他的同伴去寻找一个泉水，这样他就可以向宙斯献祭；然而，它被一条凶猛的龙守卫着。龙立即杀死了卡德摩斯的士兵，当王子发现他们的尸体时，他发誓要为他们复仇在前景中，我们面对的是两个士兵交织在一起的裸体。rs。这条龙用牙齿咬住了其中一条的头部，同时用爪子抓住了第二条的大腿和躯干，将其压住。血从男人的伤口上滴下来。两个显然是刚被斩首的头颅，以及一些骨头散落在挣扎的人影下面的地上。肌肉发达的身体和引人注目的姿势让人想起了Goltzius的《四大耻辱》版画（登录号53.601.，4，5（3，4，和65），也是根据Cornelis van Haarlem的设计，出自同年在右边的背景中，卡德摩斯正在实施复仇并与龙搏斗。他抓住了这个优势，用长矛刺进了这个生物的喉咙 Goltzius打算出版一系列300幅版画，描绘奥维德的《变形记》的全部15本书。最终，只有52幅画刻在了他的画后面。《吞噬卡德摩斯同伴的龙》的规模比该系列的版画更大，旨在作为戈尔茨乌斯雕刻风格的巡回演出。
介绍（英）	In 1588 Goltzius made several iconic prints that pushed beyond the elegant Mannerism of Bartholomeus Spranger to a more exaggerated muscular style. Perhaps the most dramatic is this horrifying portrayal of The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus, after a painting by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem in the National Gallery, London (accession no. NG1893). The subject is taken from Book III of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The engraving illustrates two scenes from the story of Cadmus, the prince of Tyre, whose sister Europa was abducted by Zeus. While searching for her, Cadmus sent his companions to find a spring so he could offer a sacrifice to Zeus; however, it was guarded by a fierce dragon. The dragon immediately killed Cadmus’s soldiers and when the prince discovered their bodies, he vowed to avenge them. In the foreground we are confronted with the intertwined nude bodies of two ofsoldiers. rs . The dragon has seized the head of one in his teeth while at the same time pinning down the second by clutching his thigh and torso with his claws. Blood drips from the mens’ wounds. Two apparently freshly decapitated heads, as well as some bones litter the ground beneath the struggling figures. The heavily muscled bodies and dramatic poses recall Goltzius’s engravings of the Four Disgracers (accession no. 53.601., 4, 5(3,4,5 and 65), also after designs by Cornelis van Haarlem and from the same year. In the background to the right, Cadmus is shown enacting his revenge and fighting the dragon. He has seized the advantage and thrust his spear down the creature’s throat. Goltzius intended to publish a series of 300 prints illustrating all fifteen books of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In the end, only 52 were engraved after his drawings. The Dragon Devouring the Companions of Cadmus is larger in scale than the prints from the series and is meant to stand on its own as a tour de force of Goltzius’s engraving style.
