EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent painting "Leo, 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 artwork is part of a series depicting all twelve signs of the zodiac and can be found on the ceiling of the East Gallery, which now serves as an annex to the Library of the Senate. In this particular piece, Leo takes center stage with its vibrant colors and powerful imagery. The majestic lion stands tall, adorned with a lion skin and holding a club symbolizing strength and courage. Surrounding Leo are symbolic elements such as apples representing Hercules' eleventh labor - obtaining golden apples from Hesperides - and sheaves of wheat signifying harvest time during summer. Jordaens' Flemish artistry shines through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful brushwork. This Northern Renaissance painting not only captures Leo's astrological significance but also celebrates nature's bounty during July. Originally housed at Jordaens Hotel in Antwerp, this remarkable artwork was acquired by the Senate in 1802. Its placement within their collection follows the order of the Republican Calendar used during that period. As we admire this stunning print, let us appreciate Jordaens' talent for immortalizing astrology's influence on our lives while paying homage to nature's cycles and abundance.
