EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning terracotta statuette of Venus, or a young woman dressed as Venus, at her toilet. Created by the Turkish School in the 3rd century, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 59 cm and is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. In this exquisite portrayal, Venus appears partially naked with a cloak gracefully slipping off her left shoulder. With a comb held delicately in her right hand and a mirror in her left, she attends to her divine beauty rituals. Her elaborate coiffure and heavy jewelry - earrings, necklace, and bracelets - add an air of opulence to her appearance. What makes this artwork even more enchanting are the four cupids supporting Venus. These cherubic figures symbolize love and devotion while enhancing the overall composition. As we gaze upon this ancient Roman treasure, we are transported back to classical times when mythological figures like Venus were revered for their beauty and grace. The intricate details on this figurine highlight the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. With its rich symbolism and timeless elegance, this terracotta statuette serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and our enduring fascination with goddesses like Venus who embody love itself.
