EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the serene beauty of the Grand Pond of the Buen Retiro, a masterpiece created by Juan Bautista Martinez del Mazo in 1657. Painted with meticulous detail on canvas, this oil painting measures an impressive 147x114 cm and is currently housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The artwork captures a picturesque scene within the grounds of Buen Retiro Palace, a grand complex designed by architect Alonso Carbonell under the orders of Philip IV of Spain. The lush landscaped garden surrounding the palace provides a stunning backdrop for this composition. In this idyllic setting, we see a couple leisurely rowing a boat across the tranquil pond while courtiers stroll along its banks. Majestic trees tower above them, their branches reaching towards the sky as if embracing nature's splendor. A magnificent sculpture stands proudly amidst carefully manicured gardens, adding to the baroque elegance that permeates every corner of this enchanting place. A peacock gracefully struts nearby, its vibrant plumage echoing both royalty and natural beauty. Beyond it lies an exquisite balustrade leading to another part of Buen Retiro's vast parkland. In one corner stands a statue depicting Venus herself - symbolizing love and harmony within these hallowed grounds. This print transports us back in time to experience not only Mazo's artistic genius but also offers us a glimpse into Spanish history and culture during that era. It serves as an invitation to immerse ourselves in this extraordinary
