EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Veronese's masterpiece, "Mars and Venus United by Love" painted around 1570. The oil on canvas artwork, measuring 207x161 cm, can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In this allegorical composition, Cupid playfully binds a ribbon around the legs of Mars, the god of war, and Venus, the goddess of love. This act symbolizes their union in love and passion. As we admire this painting, our attention is drawn to a magnificent horse standing nearby and a mischievous stone satyr observing the scene with curiosity. "Mars and Venus United by Love" is part of a set called "Allegories of Love" consisting of five paintings; four are housed at the National Gallery in London. Veronese's Italian heritage shines through his meticulous attention to detail and mastery over color. The painting depicts various elements from classical mythology intertwined with religious symbolism. It exemplifies mannerism - an artistic style popular during the Renaissance period that emphasized elegance and grace. The composition features both nude figures - representing timeless beauty - as well as winged putti fluttering about amidst a temple-like setting. Veronese skillfully captures the essence of love between these mythological characters while showcasing his technical prowess as an artist.
