EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting, "Venus et Enee" (Venus and Aeneas), depicts the powerful goddess Venus appearing to her son Aeneas in order to aid him on his perilous journey. Created by the talented artist Sebastien Bourdon between 1650-1660, this masterpiece measures 45.5x54.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Musee de l'Ermitage in Saint Petersburg. In this enchanting scene, Venus stands before her son with a sense of divine grace, offering guidance and protection as he embarks on his epic voyage. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to the mythological figures portrayed within the artwork. As we gaze upon this painting, we are captivated by Venus's beauty and strength as she holds a shield and weapon symbolizing her role as both a protector and warrior. Her nakedness represents vulnerability but also signifies purity and divinity. Bourdon skillfully captures the essence of Greek mythology through his portrayal of Aeneas, who is depicted listening attentively to his mother's words while holding a swan - an animal often associated with love and beauty. This remarkable piece transports us back to ancient times when gods intervened in mortal affairs. It serves as a reminder that even in our own journeys through life, there may be unseen forces guiding us towards our destinies.
