EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate relief of Virgo represented by Ceres, created by the talented Agostino di Duccio in the 15th century. The piece is part of a series depicting planetary symbols and zodiac signs, located in the Chapel of the Planets at Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, Italy.
Virgo, symbolized by Ceres, is depicted as a powerful female deity associated with agriculture and harvest. The detailed craftsmanship of this plaster relief showcases the Renaissance artist's skill in capturing both celestial and earthly elements within one composition.
The image evokes a sense of divine femininity intertwined with agricultural abundance, highlighting the importance of nature's cycles and fertility. As Virgo is ruled by Mercury and represents purity and perfectionism, Ceres embodies these qualities through her role as a goddess of agriculture and growth.
Through this photo print, viewers are transported back to a time when astrology played a significant role in understanding human existence and connection to the cosmos. Agostino di Duccio's work serves as a reminder of our eternal bond with nature and the heavens above.
