EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning design for a wall decoration, created by the renowned Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens around 1640-1645, showcases the artist's mastery of Baroque style and his ability to blend mythology, religion, and natural elements in a harmonious composition. The recto of the drawing features an elaborate facade of a building adorned with cherubs, amorini, and putti, playfully frolicking among animals, including a dog and a pair of dogs. The central figure is Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, clad in a flowing gown, accompanied by a nude putto. The intricate architectural details, from the columns and arches to the intricate friezes and cornices, are rendered with meticulous precision using brown ink, brush drawing, and color washes heightened with white over black chalk on laid paper. The interior of the building is depicted as an inviting and serene space, filled with light and warmth, reflecting the artist's sensitivity to the interplay of light and shadow. This beautiful drawing is a testament to Jordaens' artistic vision and his contribution to the rich artistic heritage of the Baroque era. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
