EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Diana, Proserpina, Ceres, Iris, &c." by Aubin Louis Millin, showcases a stunning collection of ancient goddesses as depicted on antique vases. The image features five prominent goddesses from Greek and Roman mythology: Diana, Proserpina, Ceres, Iris, Venus, and Amor. Diana, the goddess of the hunt, is depicted in the center, dressed in a flowing gown adorned with the moon and stars. She holds a bow and arrow, symbolizing her role as the protector of the wild and the hunt. To her left, Proserpina, the goddess of spring and the underworld, is shown with her daughter Persephone, who is being abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, represented by the figure in the background. Ceres, the goddess of agriculture and grain, is shown on the right side of the image, surrounded by wheat and corn. Iris, the goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods, is depicted in the upper left corner, wearing a beautiful robe with iridescent colors. In the lower left corner, Venus, the goddess of love, is shown with her son Amor, the god of love, who is depicted as a chubby cupid with wings. This exquisite illustration is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving offer a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient civilizations, making it a valuable and fascinating addition to any collection of historical art or mythology.
