EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Libra, from the Signs of the Zodiac" by Jacob Jordaens. Painted in oil on canvas during the Northern Renaissance period, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris, France. The artwork depicts Libra, one of the twelve zodiac signs representing September. The female figure symbolizes Ceres, goddess of agriculture and abundance. Crowned with fruit and holding a cornucopia overflowing with grapes, she exudes prosperity and fertility. Intricately detailed scales hang at her side, emphasizing Libra's association with balance and justice. The artist skillfully captures every brushstroke to bring out the essence of this astrological sign. Originally part of Jordaens Hotel in Antwerp, Belgium, this painting caught the attention of French authorities who acquired it for their Senate library collection in 1802. It now graces the ceiling of the East Gallery within Palais du Luxembourg. This print allows viewers to appreciate Jordaens' mastery up close while preserving its historical significance. From its vibrant colors to its rich symbolism rooted in astrology and mythology, "Libra" continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.
