EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Peter Paul Rubens' "Worship of Venus" a masterpiece created around 1635. The oil on canvas painting, measuring an impressive 195x210 cm, is housed in the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. This particular artwork is a copy after Titian's renowned 1520 painting based on Philostratos' description of an enchanted garden filled with cupids engaging in symbolic acts of love. The scene depicted in this baroque Flemish painting is one of pure enchantment and fertility. Cupids, small winged children born from nymphs, frolic amidst a picturesque landscape adorned with fruits and flowers. Love permeates the air as these playful figures engage in allegorical festivities and amorous play. Rubens skillfully captures the essence of classical mythology through his portrayal of Venus, the Roman deity associated with love and beauty. She stands tall as an allegorical figure surrounded by naked nymphs and winged cupids armed with arrows symbolizing desire. The idyllic setting exudes tranquility and harmony while showcasing Rococo influences within its composition. The presence of mythological elements such as apples alludes to Aphrodite's association with fruitfulness and abundance. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Rubens' mastery as he brings to life this mythical world where gods reign supreme over nature itself. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classical art that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
