EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th-century illumination captures the essence of Greek mythology and love. The print features the goddess Aphrodite, accompanied by her husband Hephaistos, their son Eros (Cupid), and the Charities. In this scene, Aphrodite stands gracefully with a dove perched on her hand, symbolizing peace and purity. Her naked form exudes beauty and sensuality as she gazes into the distance. Hephaistos, known for his craftsmanship, is depicted with his tools nearby, showcasing his role as the god of fire and blacksmiths. Eros (Cupid) hovers above them all with his bow in hand, ready to shoot arrows of love into unsuspecting hearts. The presence of the Charities adds an element of grace and elegance to this composition. These three goddesses represent charm, beauty, and kindness – qualities often associated with Aphrodite herself. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece; from the intricate patterns adorning their garments to the delicate feathers on each bird that surrounds them. This chromolithography chromo beautifully captures ancient Greece's rich mythological characters within its vibrant colors. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient civilizations' beliefs and traditions. It transports us back in time to a world where gods ruled over mortals and love was both powerful and unpredictable.
