EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century print, attributed to Anon, depicts the ancient Greek mythological tale of Venus and Jason. Venus, the goddess of love, is shown riding atop a magnificent conch shell, her voluptuous figure gracefully balanced as she gazes out at the water. To her right, the hapless Jason coweres in fear, his hands shielding his face from the wrath of the goddess. Eros, the god of love personified as a cherub, rides a makeshift boat between them, skillfully maneuvering the vessel with an outstretched arm while holding a bow and arrow. The scene is reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance, with influences from both ancient Greek and Roman mythology. The print, engraved in black and white, showcases intricate detail and delicate shading, bringing the figures to life. The print, which dates back to the 1530s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Greek mythology and the artistic prowess of the era. It is a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient civilizations, and a reminder of the timeless stories that continue to captivate and inspire us today. This print is a must-see for any art enthusiast, museum-goer, or history buff, and is a valuable addition to any collection or exhibit.
