EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Venus mourns the death of Adonis" captures a mesmerizing scene painted by Herman van Swanevelt in 1654. The artwork depicts the sorrowful Venus, goddess of love and beauty, grieving over the lifeless body of her beloved Adonis in a hilly landscape. The scenic backdrop showcases lush trees and blooming anemones, adding to the melancholic atmosphere. On the floor lies Adonis, his legs adorned with flowering anemones while a spear pierces through him. Dogs hover nearby as Cupid's arrows fall from his quiver. Venus steps forward with her flyaway hair flowing behind her as she gazes upon her fallen lover. In the distance, a chariot spouts forth from its head while doves symbolize mourning and loss. The French text on this print suggests that it was commissioned by Lodewijk XIV (King of France) during his reign. Quint Lox has beautifully captured every detail of this masterpiece from the Liszt Collection. As we admire this image, we are transported into a world where love and tragedy intertwine amidst nature's splendor. It serves as a poignant reminder that even gods can experience heartbreak and loss—a testament to both Van Swanevelt's artistic prowess and Quint Lox's skillful photography capturing its essence without commercial intent or use.
