EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent fresco depicting the timeless love story of Mars and Venus, discovered in the House of the Wedding of Hercules in Pompei, Italy. The ancient Roman civilization comes to life through this remarkable artwork that has withstood the test of time. In this full-length portrayal, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, stands gracefully beside her lover Mars, god of war. Their celestial connection is beautifully captured as they gaze into each other's eyes amidst a backdrop filled with cherubs and symbols of love. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail painted on this archaeological artifact dating back to the 1st century. The women are adorned in elegant robes while Mars dons a suit of armor symbolizing his warrior status. This juxtaposition highlights their contrasting roles yet undeniable attraction. As we delve into this ancient civilisation's mythology and antiquities, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between two powerful deities. This painted image serves as a testament to human fascination with love throughout history. Displayed outdoors within a museum setting, it reminds us not only of our past but also our enduring interest in art and its ability to transcend generations. With museum rights granted by Universal Images Group (UIG), we can marvel at this masterpiece without any commercial implications.
