EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving by Eric Gill, created in 1928, depicts a scene from the timeless literary masterpiece "The Canterbury Tales". In this particular print titled "Venus and Cupid with a golden cockerel". Gill skillfully captures the essence of romance and symbolism. At the center of the composition stands Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, accompanied by her mischievous son Cupid. The presence of a golden cockerel adds an intriguing element to the image, as it symbolizes awakening desire and passion. With his masterful use of lines and intricate details, Gill brings these mythological figures to life. The engraving showcases Gill's mastery in capturing emotions through art. Venus' serene expression exudes grace and allure while Cupid playfully aims his arrow at unsuspecting hearts. The delicate lettering surrounding them suggests that their tale is one filled with intrigue and forbidden desires. Gill's work beautifully merges classical mythology with English literature, making this print a true treasure for admirers of both subjects. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or time periods – it transcends generations. This remarkable piece invites viewers into an enchanting world where gods meddle in human affairs, igniting passions within men and women alike. As we gaze upon this wood engraving from 1928, we are transported back to an era when tales were told orally but now immortalized on paper for all to enjoy.
