Awakened by Love - A Baroque Allegory of Desire
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning 17th-century masterpiece, Flemish painter Jacob Jordaens masterfully weaves together mythological and allegorical themes to create a captivating scene of love and desire. The print depicts a beautiful woman reclining outside, surrounded by lush foliage and a majestic dog at her side. Her eyes are closed, as if she is lost in thought or perhaps even sleep, yet her body language suggests an underlying tension.
At the center of the composition is Cupid, the mischievous god of love, who has pierced her with his arrow. The flower blooming from the arrow's tip symbolizes the blossoming of passion and romance. Meanwhile, a bow lies nearby, its string taut and ready to be released - a potent reminder that love can be both gentle and powerful.
Jordaens' use of color is characteristic of the Baroque style he was known for - rich hues like crimson reds and golden yellows dominate the palette, drawing attention to the central figures while also evoking feelings of warmth and sensuality. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are transported to an era where art was used not only to depict reality but also to convey complex emotions and moral lessons.
This enchanting print is not only a testament to Jordaens' skill as an artist but also serves as a timeless reminder that love remains one of humanity's most enduring passions.
