EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Personification of the Sun" transports us back to the 17th century, where mythology and science intertwine. Created by an unknown artist in Rome in 1613, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of the sun as a divine being. In this allegorical depiction, we see a man standing tall, representing the personification of the sun. He exudes power and strength as he holds an arrow-like weapon in his hand, symbolizing his ability to bring light and warmth to our world. Surrounding him are various mythological elements such as snakes and reptiles, emphasizing his connection with nature. The artist skillfully portrays both religious and pagan influences through this artwork. The nudity of the figure reflects ancient polytheistic beliefs while also highlighting vulnerability and purity associated with divinity. The radiant beams of sunlight emanating from behind him remind us of the sun's life-giving energy that sustains all living beings on Earth. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of humanity's fascination with celestial bodies but also how art can bridge different realms - mythology and science - allowing us to explore complex ideas through visual representation.
