EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fabric depicting Venus Anadyomene, originating from Antinoe during the 6th century. Measuring 28x30 cm, this stunning piece can be found at the Louvre in Paris, France. The fabric is crafted from a combination of wool and linen, showcasing the incredible skill and artistry of Coptic weavers. The design features various elements that symbolize the birth of Venus from the sea. Fish swim gracefully amidst swirling waves while ducks glide across tranquil waters. A delicate shell rests at Venus' feet as she emerges with grace and beauty from her watery realm. Triton, half-human and half-fish deity, accompanies her on this enchanting journey. Adding to the ethereal atmosphere are cherubim or putti - angelic figures often associated with love and desire - who playfully frolic around Venus. These celestial beings bring an air of innocence to the scene as they interact with animals in perfect harmony. This fabric serves as a testament to ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and mythology, capturing both natural beauty and divine presence within its intricate threads. As it now resides in public domain due to its age, this mesmerizing artwork continues to inspire awe among admirers worldwide through its timeless depiction of one of history's most revered goddesses – Aphrodite/Venus Anadyomene.
