EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print titled "Venus and Aeneas" by Sebastien Bourdon showcases a significant moment in Greek mythology. The artist beautifully depicts the story of Aeneas, a Trojan hero who is recognized as the son of Prince Anchises and Aphrodite, also known as Venus in Roman mythology. Displayed at the State Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, this French Baroque artwork highlights themes of love, family, religion, and war. In the painting, Aeneas stands tall with his armor and shield while Venus points towards him with pride. The presence of cherubs adds an ethereal touch to the scene. Bourdon's use of color brings life to this ancient tale as he skillfully captures both the heroic nature of Aeneas and the divine beauty associated with his mother Venus. The nudity depicted symbolizes vulnerability but also represents their godly status. The composition not only celebrates heroism but also emphasizes motherhood through Venus' protective gesture towards her son. This piece serves as a visual representation of bravery intertwined with familial love. As viewers admire this oil painting from the Baroque era, they are transported back to ancient Troy where mythological stories unfold. It is through artworks like these that we can appreciate how artists throughout history have brought mythical tales to life on canvas for generations to come.
