EDITORS COMMENTS
The Feast of Achelous, a captivating masterpiece by Artus Wollfort, transports us to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. This oil on copper print, measuring 50x81 cm, is housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. In this scene bursting with life and opulence, we witness a grand celebration hosted by Achelous, the river god. The goddess presides over the festivities from her elevated seat adorned with vibrant flowers and lush foliage. Surrounding her are playful putti - cherubic figures symbolizing love and joy. The abundance of nature is beautifully depicted through an overflowing cornucopia at the center of the composition. Filled with succulent oysters and lobsters emerging from their shells, it represents prosperity and fertility. As our gaze wanders across this intricate artwork, we encounter Triton - a sea deity blowing his conch shell trumpet to announce merriment. His presence adds an element of mystique to this already mesmerizing tableau. Wollfort's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each figure exudes grace and elegance as they revel in this divine feast. The artist skillfully captures both the mythical realm and earthly delights within one harmonious composition. This print invites us into a world where gods mingle with mortals amidst sumptuous banquets filled with laughter and indulgence. It serves as a testament to Wollfort's mastery as well as an enduring reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient myths
