EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a profound moment in Greek mythology. The scene depicts Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, discovering the lifeless body of her beloved Adonis. Drawn by majestic swans, a sorrowful wagon carries Venus and Amor as they descend upon Adonis' tragic fate. The background reveals a haunting sight - torn apart by ferocious dogs, evidence of the wild boar that ended Adonis' life prematurely. Alongside his lifeless form lie symbols of his identity as a hunter: a hunting horn and spear, now rendered useless in the face of his demise. Venus is consumed by grief as she mourns over her fallen lover. This poignant portrayal captures her anguish and heartbreak at losing Adonis to such a cruel fate. Created by Jacob Herreyns (I), an artist hailing from Antwerp between 1671-1732, this etching on paper measures 162mm in height and 174mm in width. As you gaze upon this evocative image, you can't help but be drawn into its emotional depth. It serves as a reminder that even gods are not immune to tragedy and loss—a powerful testament to the enduring themes explored throughout art history.
