EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jacob Jordaens' masterpiece, "Scorpio, from the Signs of the Zodiac". Painted in oil on canvas, this artwork can be found adorning the ceiling of the East Gallery in Palais du Luxembourg, Paris. Originally part of Jordaens Hotel in Antwerp, it was acquired by the Senate in 1802 and arranged according to the Republican Calendar. In this painting, Scorpio is depicted as a powerful and muscular male figure. With his satyr-like appearance and tambourine in hand, he exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The god of wine himself, Silenius, accompanies him with grapes symbolizing abundance and indulgence. Jordaens' attention to detail is evident through his portrayal of autumnal elements surrounding Scorpio. This zodiac sign represents October and marks a transition into cooler months. Bacchanalian festivities are hinted at through references to drunkenness and revelry. As you gaze upon this print, allow yourself to be drawn into the world of astrology. Explore the symbolism behind each sign as they guide us through life's journey. Whether you're a believer or simply appreciate fine artistry, "Scorpio" offers an opportunity for contemplation and appreciation for both Northern Renaissance art enthusiasts and those fascinated by astrological wonders alike.
