EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hauntingly beautiful print, we are transported to a moment of profound sorrow and grief. The scene depicts Venus, the goddess of love, discovering the lifeless body of her beloved Adonis. Jusepe de Ribera's masterful brushstrokes capture the raw emotion and tragedy that permeate this heart-wrenching moment. Venus is shown kneeling beside Adonis' lifeless form, her face contorted with anguish as she mourns the loss of her lover. Her flowing robes cascade around her in a sea of sadness, mirroring the waves of grief crashing within her soul. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from Venus' tear-stained cheeks to the delicate folds in her garments, each element contributes to the overall sense of mourning and despair. Ribera draws inspiration from Ovid's tragic tale of Adonis and Venus, where their passionate love ultimately leads to his untimely demise. Through his skillful portrayal, he captures not only their individual pain but also the universal experience of losing someone dear. As we gaze upon this poignant image, we cannot help but be moved by its profound depiction of loss and metamorphosis. It serves as a reminder that even gods are not immune to heartbreak and that tragedy can strike anyone at any time. This print by Vincenzo Pirozzi invites us into a world where love meets sorrow head-on – an eternal testament to both human fragility and resilience in the face of unimaginable grief
