In 1565 the Dutch engraver Cornelis Cort went to Italy, where his talent was recognized by the famous artist Titian. Cort's innovative style of engraving, with swelling and diminishing lines, proved perfect for translating the renowned warm colour palette of the Venetian painters into print. The scene depicts the Cyclops - giants with one eye in their foreheads - making armour and weapons in Vulcan's forge.
