EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Allegory of Love: Venus holding a pair of tethered doves, with Ceres, Apollo and Diana" by Jan Brueghel and Hendrik van Balen. Measuring 35.8x46.4 cm, this baroque masterpiece is housed in a private collection. In this allegorical scene, the goddess Venus gracefully holds a pair of doves that are tenderly connected by delicate tethers. Surrounding her are the divine figures of Ceres, Apollo, and Diana, accompanied by playful putti dancing in an idyllic landscape. The composition exudes love and beauty as each figure is adorned with flowing drapery and surrounded by vibrant flowers. The doves symbolize fidelity while the dancing putti represent joyous celebration. Both male and female deities are depicted here in their nakedness, emphasizing their godlike qualities. This nudity adds to the sensuality of the scene without being overtly erotic. Brueghel's meticulous attention to detail shines through every brushstroke, creating a harmonious balance between mythological storytelling and artistic finesse. Through this enchanting artwork captured beautifully in this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can immerse themselves in an allegorical world where love reigns supreme amidst gods and goddesses alike.
