EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of "Venus and Mars Embracing as Vulcan Works at His Forge" by Enea Vico, created in 1543. The image transports us back to the 16th century, where we witness the divine love affair between Venus, the goddess of love, and Mars, the god of war. As they embrace passionately amidst a bed chamber, their forbidden romance unfolds. At the center of this masterpiece stands Vulcan, Hephaestus in Greek mythology, diligently working at his forge. With hammer in hand and fire ablaze behind him, he symbolizes both craftsmanship and betrayal. For it is known that Venus had been unfaithful to her husband with Mars. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. Francesco Parmigianino's influence can be seen through Mazzola's work as he expertly captures each figure's emotion and expression. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece represents Italy's rich artistic heritage from centuries past. It serves as a reminder that even gods are not immune to human desires and temptations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Enea Vico, we are transported into a world where passion intertwines with deceit—a timeless tale captured for eternity through artistry and skillful execution.
