EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print depicts the alliance between two legendary goddesses, Venus and Minerva. The image, believed to be created between 1590 and 1620, showcases the goddesses in a full-length, standing position. Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, is depicted in the nude, while Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, war, and craftsmanship, is dressed in armor and holding a bow and arrow. The goddesses are shown embracing each other, symbolizing the unity and harmony between love and war, beauty and wisdom. The decorative cartouche below the image is adorned with intricate designs and the words "Pellegrino Tibaldi Inv. R. 1169," suggesting a possible connection to the Italian artist Pellegrino Tibaldi. The print is a stunning example of the Renaissance period's fascination with mythology and the depiction of the human form. The use of oil on copper or oil on metal technique adds depth and richness to the image, with the copper metal providing a unique and distinctive color and texture. The location of this artwork is the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, a testament to its European heritage and significance in the history of art. This print is a reminder of the enduring influence of Roman mythology and the concept of the alliance between love and war, which continues to captivate and inspire people to this day.
