EDITORS COMMENTS
Georg Pencz's engraving, "Paris Writing Words of Love to Oenone," transports us to the heart of the Renaissance era with its captivating scene of mythological lovers exchanging tender words amidst the natural beauty of the outdoors. The black and white composition, reminiscent of the 16th century, showcases Paris, the legendary Trojan prince, in a contemplative moment as he pens a heartfelt letter to Oenone, the wise and compassionate wood nymph. The image, created by the German artist Georg Pencz, is a testament to the enduring power of love and the connection between humans and nature. Paris, with his head in his hands and a thoughtful expression, is depicted in the foreground, while Oenone, a naked woman with an air of grace and serenity, is shown in the background, surrounded by lush trees and plants. The artist's skillful use of contrast between the white and black elements adds depth and dimension to the scene, further emphasizing the beauty and richness of the natural world. This engraving, a national treasure now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The image invites us to reflect on the timeless themes of love, nature, and the human experience, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery.
