EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Venus mourns the death of Adonis" we are transported to a scene of profound grief and sorrow. Painted by Hieronymus Cock and Matthys Cock around 1551, this masterpiece captures the essence of both biblical and mythological themes. The image depicts Venus, the goddess of love, kneeling beside her beloved Adonis who has tragically been slain by a wild boar during a hunting expedition. The landscape surrounding them is serene yet hauntingly beautiful, with rolling hills and lush greenery that contrasts with the somber mood. Venus's expression is one of pure anguish as she cradles Adonis in her arms, while Cupid stands nearby, his bow abandoned at his feet. The tragedy is palpable in every brushstroke; it seems as if even nature itself mourns alongside Venus for the loss of such a radiant young life. This print not only showcases the artistic talent of its creators but also serves as a reminder of our own mortality and the fragility of life. It invites us to reflect on love's ability to bring both joy and heartbreak. Quint Lox has expertly captured this emotional moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail within this historical artwork. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we cannot help but be moved by its timeless beauty and poignant narrative.
