Zilveren kelk met deksel, met decoraties naar tekeningen van Hendrick Goltzius

This image shows a detailed 1604 silver hanap, or ceremonial drinking vessel, featuring intricate Mannerist ornamentation. The lid is crowned with a sculpture of a horseman and an attendant, while the main body of the cup displays circular medallions containing mythological figures. The vessel's base and stem are heavily decorated with foliage and scrolls typical of late Renaissance metalwork.

Hendrick Goltzius was the preeminent figure of Haarlem Mannerism, an artistic movement closely tied to the intellectual circle of Karel van Mander and the Neoplatonic ideals of the late 16th century. This object represents the intersection of civic guild culture and the high 'Rudolfine' style, reflecting the sophisticated visual language used to communicate social and philosophical status in the Dutch Republic.
