EDITORS COMMENTS
Minerva, the Wise Goddess of Judgment and Wisdom, is beautifully depicted in this print by Quint Lox. The artwork showcases the collaboration between renowned artists Jan Saenredam, Cornelius Schonaeus, and Claes Jansz. Visscher (II) during the late 16th to early 17th century. In this mesmerizing composition, Minerva stands tall with her iconic attributes surrounding her. The majestic owl perches on her shoulder symbolizing wisdom and foresight while she holds a spear and shield representing strength and protection. Her helmet adorned with Medusa's head serves as a reminder of her power to turn enemies into stone. As Minerva gazes confidently into the distance amidst billowing clouds, one can almost feel her divine presence radiating through the print. This portrayal captures both grace and authority that define this goddess of strategic warfare, arts, crafts, intellectuality, and justice. The scene alludes to the famous mythological tale of 'Judgment of Paris, ' where three goddesses competed for a golden apple labeled 'To the Fairest. ' Notably absent from this depiction is Mercury - emphasizing Minerva's independence in rendering judgment without any external influence. Quint Lox skillfully brings together historical elements from Latin literature with artistic finesse to create an enchanting visual narrative that celebrates Minerva's timeless significance as an emblematic figure among ancient deities.
