EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Virgo, from the Signs of the Zodiac" by Jacob Jordaens. Painted on canvas with oil, this masterpiece is housed in the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris, France. The painting depicts Virgo, one of the twelve zodiac signs, and she is adorned with a crown made of ears of corn. The artwork can be found on the ceiling of the East Gallery, which now serves as an annex to the Library of the Senate. Originally part of Jordaens Hotel in Antwerp, it was acquired by the Senate in 1802 and arranged according to the Republican Calendar. In this stunning portrayal, Virgo is seen riding a chariot pulled by serpents while holding a sickle. This symbolizes her association with Ceres (the Roman goddess of agriculture), who carries a sheaf and represents abundance and fertility. Additionally, there are references to Triptolemus (the inventor of ploughing) and Proserpine (Ceres' daughter). Jordaens' Northern Renaissance style shines through in his meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant colors. This piece not only captures Virgo's astrological significance but also celebrates her femininity and connection to nature. With its rich historical background and artistic brilliance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Jordaens' mastery while exploring themes related to astrology and mythology.
