EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Venus and Cupid" we are transported back in time to the Renaissance era. The artwork, created by Hendrick Goltzius after 1590, depicts the mythological figures of Venus and Cupid in a mesmerizing scene. The image showcases Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, standing gracefully next to a tree adorned with bunches of grapes. Her delicate hand reaches out towards one of the grape pickers who are diligently harvesting the ripe fruit from the vine. Cupid, her mischievous son and god of desire, playfully hovers nearby. Goltzius' attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every intricate element within this composition. From the texture of Venus' flowing gown to each individual grape on the vine, his artistic prowess shines through. The Latin inscription "sine cerere baccho friget venus" adds an intellectual layer to this piece. Translated as "without Ceres (the goddess of grain) and Bacchus (the god of wine), Venus freezes" it serves as a reminder that love cannot thrive without sustenance and pleasure. Quint Lox's masterful photography brings new life to this historical artwork from Liszt Collection. Through his lens, we can appreciate both Goltzius' original creation and Lox's unique perspective on capturing its essence for contemporary audiences.
