EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pietro da Cortona's masterpiece, "Venus Appearing to Aeneas as a Huntress" painted around 1635. The oil on canvas painting measures an impressive 127x176 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this enchanting scene, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, takes on the guise of a huntress to appear before Aeneas. Standing amidst lush foliage and bathed in soft light, she exudes an ethereal aura that captivates both viewers and Aeneas himself. The composition skillfully combines elements from mythology and history. As a central figure in Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid". Aeneas was a Trojan hero who played a significant role during the Trojan War. Here, Venus appears to him with her son Cupid by her side, symbolizing their divine intervention in his destiny. Cortona's mastery of Baroque style is evident through his use of dramatic lighting and rich colors that bring life to every detail. The painting beautifully captures the tension between earthly desires represented by Venus' seductive presence and Aeneas' duty as a warrior. Through this exceptional print by Peter Willi, viewers can now appreciate every brushstroke and intricate detail of Cortona's masterpiece from the comfort of their own homes. It serves as a reminder of art's ability to transport us into mythical realms while celebrating human emotions that have transcended time for centuries.
