EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Pieter Thies' masterpiece, "La visite de Venus (Aphrodite) a Vulcain (Hephaistos)" or "The visit of Venus to Vulcan". This oil on canvas painting, measuring 118.8 x 157 cm, is an exquisite example of Flemish Baroque art from the 17th century. In this mythological scene, we witness the enchanting Aphrodite paying a visit to Hephaestus in his forge. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring this ancient Greek tale to life. Aphrodite, known as Venus in Roman mythology, stands gracefully amidst the chaos of Vulcan's workshop. Her beauty contrasts with the ruggedness of her surroundings. Vulcan, the god of fire and craftsmanship, is depicted wearing armor and a helmet while tending to his oven. The painting showcases Thies' mastery in capturing textures and light effects as he portrays intricate metalwork and glowing embers. This artwork exemplifies the fusion between classical mythology and religious themes that were prevalent during the Baroque period. It invites viewers into a world where gods interacted with mortals through divine interventions. Currently housed at the State Art Museum of Belorussian Republic in Minsk, Belarus, this piece serves as a testament to Thies' artistic skill and creativity. Its presence within their collection allows visitors to immerse themselves in both Flemish art history and ancient legends brought vividly back to life through paintbrush strokes.
