EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Pisces, from the Signs of the Zodiac" by Jacob Jordaens, a renowned Flemish artist from the Northern Renaissance period. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris, France. The artwork depicts the astrological sign Pisces, represented by two fish swimming gracefully amidst turbulent waters. The composition exudes a sense of movement and dynamism as they navigate through a tempestuous sea. A female figure identified as Venus stands above them, accompanied by her son Cupid. Draped in flowing fabric that billows with the wind, she watches over these mystical creatures. Jordaens' attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of each element within this zodiacal scene. From the delicate features of Venus and Cupid to the intricate rendering of water and drapery, every aspect reflects his mastery as an artist. This particular painting was originally part of Jordaens Hotel in Antwerp before being acquired by the Senate in 1802 for display at Palais du Luxembourg. It now adorns one section of the ceiling in what is known as the East Gallery or annex to the Library of Senate. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported into a realm where mythology intertwines with astrology—a visual representation that captivates both art enthusiasts and those fascinated by celestial symbolism.
