EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Scaldis and Antverpia" by Abraham Janssens van Nuyssen, a renowned Flemish artist of the Baroque period. The painting, created in 1609 and displayed at the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium, measures an impressive 174x308 cm. The artwork depicts an allegorical scene filled with symbolism and rich details. At its center lies the majestic river deity Scaldis (personification of the Scheldt River), reclining on a bed of fruits and vegetables. With his muscular physique, he exudes strength and abundance while bestowing prosperity upon Antverpia (personification of the city of Antwerp). This female figure is depicted nude, representing purity and fertility. The chiaroscuro technique employed by Janssens van Nuyssen adds depth to this allegoric composition. Every element within the painting symbolizes wealth, bounty, and plenty - from the overflowing cornucopia held by Scaldis to the lush vegetation surrounding him. Through this masterful artwork, Janssens van Nuyssen captures both physical beauty and spiritual significance. The juxtaposition of male and female personifications highlights their harmonious relationship as they work together to bring prosperity to Antwerp. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable piece while immersing themselves in its allegorical narrative. It serves as a testament to Janss
