EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "Ceres and Cyane" artist Jan Soens transports us to a mythical world of gods and goddesses. The scene depicts Ceres, the nymph and mother of Persephone, desperately searching for her beloved daughter. With a torch in hand, she stands beside a tranquil pool amidst a breathtaking landscape. The composition exudes an air of mystery as Ceres gazes into the distance, her expression filled with both determination and longing. The vibrant colors used by Soens bring life to the lush surroundings, from the verdant trees to the shimmering water reflecting the soft light. This artwork draws inspiration from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Ceres embarks on an arduous quest to find her daughter who was abducted by Pluto. Soens skillfully captures this emotional journey through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail. Measuring 144x182.4 cm, this Flemish masterpiece can be found at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, France. It is a testament to Soens' talent as well as his ability to convey timeless stories through art. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythology and its ability to transport us into worlds beyond our own imagination.
