Christian Gottfried Schultze

Christian Gottfried Schultze belongs to the engravers of the late eighteenth century, working chiefly in engraving and taking up subjects from classical myth. His engraved plates render narrative scenes from antiquity with the linear clarity typical of the period's reproductive printmaking. The archive holds a single sheet by him, an engraving dated 1778 that depicts Deianeira receiving the poisoned tunic from Nessus while the wounded centaur sinks to the ground at the left.
