EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent marble group found in the enchanting Windsor Great Park. Titled "Venus defending a Nymph from a Faun" this exquisite engraving by the English School in the 19th century is an absolute treasure. The artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts a scene from Greek mythology that is both powerful and tender. In this mesmerizing composition, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, fiercely protects a vulnerable nymph from the advances of a mischievous faun. The intricate details of these sculptures bring life to their forms - every curve and expression expertly carved into the marble. The discovery of this remarkable marble group adds to its allure as it was unearthed within the majestic grounds of Windsor Great Park. Its historical significance cannot be understated, capturing not only artistic mastery but also providing insight into ancient mythological narratives. Originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on April 2nd, 1853, this image transports us back in time to appreciate the craftsmanship and storytelling abilities prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon these statuesque figures frozen in eternal struggle or protection, we are reminded of timeless themes such as love's strength and vulnerability. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece through their fine art finder collection – allowing us to admire and contemplate its profound beauty for generations to come.
