EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Pieter Paul Rubens, a renowned Flemish painter from the 17th century. Titled "Venus Frigida" this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 145x185,6 cm and is housed in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp. The painting depicts Venus, the goddess of love and beauty in Roman mythology. With her ethereal nudity delicately portrayed, she stands amidst a breathtaking landscape accompanied by mythical creatures such as satyrs and fauns. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every curve and contour of Venus' body with remarkable precision. Despite her divine status, there is an undeniable sense of coldness and sadness emanating from Venus' posture. Perhaps it symbolizes the complexities that come with love or serves as a reminder that even goddesses can experience moments of vulnerability. Rubens skillfully incorporates elements like Cupid/Eros, horn of plenty, and wind into his composition to further enhance its mythological theme. This fusion between classical antiquity and baroque art creates a harmonious balance between reality and fantasy within the piece. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness Rubens' genius firsthand. It serves as a testament to his mastery over capturing human emotions while immortalizing them on canvas for generations to admire.
