EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Three Goddesses: Minerva, Juno and Venus" by Jan van der Straet, also known as Joannes Stradanus. Created in 1587 using pen and brown ink, black and red chalk heightened with white on laid paper, this artwork measures 20x15.3 cm and is housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. In this stunning piece, we witness a scene from ancient legend and mythology unfold before our eyes. Three powerful goddesses stand side by side - Minerva, Juno, and Venus. Each exudes their unique aura of strength and beauty. Minerva holds her shield high while wearing a helmet symbolizing wisdom and protection. Juno radiates regality as she commands attention with her commanding presence. And finally, Venus captivates with her alluring nakedness that embodies love and desire. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these divine figures through intricate details such as the cherub or putto hovering above them representing Mercury's judgment. The drawing beautifully combines Flemish technique with Italian mannerism to create a harmonious blend of styles. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era where gods ruled over mortals during the Trojan War. It serves as a testament to Van der Straet's mastery in capturing classical beauty while showcasing his Netherlandish roots. This print allows us to appreciate the timeless allure of these goddesses who continue to inspire awe even
