EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Venus Mars Embracing Vulcan Works Forge 1543" by Artokoloro from the Liszt Collection transports viewers to a world of ancient mythology and artistic mastery. The engraving, created by Italian artist Enea Vico in 1543, beautifully captures the essence of this intriguing scene. In the image, we see Venus and Mars, two powerful gods of love and war respectively, embracing each other. Their union seems oddly matched as they are joined by Vulcan, a lame blacksmith known as the Greek god Hephaistos. Vulcan is depicted here as a virtuosic metalworker who has forged Cupid's potent arrows and elaborate armor for gods and heroes alike. The composition exudes both beauty and skillful craftsmanship. The delicate details bring life to each character while showcasing Vico's talent as an engraver. The sheet measures approximately 9 1/16 x 12 7/8 inches (23 x 32.7 cm), making it a compact yet impactful piece that can be appreciated up close. This print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classical mythology in art history. It invites us to explore the complex relationships between gods and mortals while marveling at their divine attributes brought forth through Vico's interpretation after Parmigianino's original work. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the timeless power that art holds in capturing our imagination and transporting us into worlds where beauty intertwines
