EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Venus in her dove-drawn chariot complaining to Jupiter, who is accompanied by Mercury and an eagle" takes us on a journey through the enchanting story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius. The intricate details captured in this artwork, created by Antonio Salamanca and Michiel Coxie, transport us to a world where gods and goddesses interact with mortals. In the center of the composition, we see Venus seated gracefully in her celestial chariot drawn by doves. Her expression reveals frustration as she voices her complaints to Jupiter, who stands beside her with his loyal companion Mercury and a majestic eagle perched at his side. At left, Mercury has descended from the heavens onto Earth. The artist's masterful technique brings life to every element of this print - from the delicate feathers of the doves to the flowing drapery adorning Venus' figure. The rich colors evoke a sense of grandeur while also highlighting each character's unique personality. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are reminded of the timeless power that myths hold over our imagination. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with tales that explore love, desire, jealousy, and divine intervention. This print allows us to bring home a fragment of ancient mythology into our modern lives – an exquisite reminder of our connection to art throughout history.
