EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported to the mythical realm as Mars, the god of war, is introduced by Minerva to Occasion. Accompanied by Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, they stand before us in all their majestic glory. The painting by Peter Paul Rubens comes to life through Bernard III Lens' masterful reproduction on vellum wrapped around a panel. The bodycolour and gum technique adds depth and richness to every detail. Mars stands tall with his shield and armor glistening in the light. His helmet rests securely on his head as he exudes strength and power. Minerva, representing wisdom, guides him towards Occasion - an allegorical figure symbolizing opportunity. Ceres graces the scene with her presence; her nude form draped modestly in a pudica pose. A winged putto hovers above them all while Medusa's face adorns Mars' shield. This baroque masterpiece captures not only mythological elements but also showcases Rubens' extraordinary talent for capturing movement and emotion. Now housed at Yale Center for British Art within the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this print invites us into a world where gods walk among mortals and opportunities await those who dare seize them.
