EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Sagittarius, from the Signs of the Zodiac" by Jacob Jordaens. Painted in oil on canvas, this masterpiece is located in the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris, France. The painting adorns the ceiling of the East Gallery, which is now an annex to the Library of the Senate. In this piece, Jordaens skillfully captures Sagittarius, one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. The centaur archer stands tall and proud against a celestial backdrop. With his bow drawn and arrow ready to be released into the sky, he symbolizes strength and determination. The artist includes a fascinating narrative element within this composition as well. Nessus, another centaur figure from Greek mythology, can be seen abducting Deianeira – a female character – while rearing up behind Sagittarius. This adds depth and intrigue to an already visually stunning portrayal. Jordaens' work exemplifies his mastery of Northern Renaissance artistry with its attention to detail and rich color palette. As part of a larger series arranged according to the Republican Calendar at that time (which differs from our current calendar), it holds historical significance as well. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and intricate detail captured by Jordaens centuries ago. It serves as a reminder not only of his artistic brilliance but also how art has evolved over time through different cultural lenses.
