EDITORS COMMENTS
Pegasus, a legendary winged horse from Roman mythology, soars majestically above a tranquil landscape in this breathtaking oil on canvas painting by Flemish Baroque artist Jacob Jordaens. Created between 1663 and 1665, this masterpiece is currently housed in the esteemed Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. The painting embodies the essence of allegory and literature, with Pegasus, the divine steed of poetry and inspiration, representing the muses and the power of lyricism. The winged horse, with its outstretched wings and graceful form, symbolizes love, victory, and the transcendence of earthly limitations. Jordaens masterfully captures the ethereal beauty of Pegasus, with its flowing mane and the delicate play of light and shadow on its wings. The artist's use of rich colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the painting's sense of grandeur and drama, transporting the viewer to a world of myth and imagination. The peaceful landscape below, with its rolling hills and serene body of water, provides a striking contrast to the dynamic energy of Pegasus. The harmonious blend of the natural world and the supernatural creates a sense of harmony and balance, reflecting the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. This painting is a testament to Jordaens' mastery of the Baroque style and his ability to infuse his work with a sense of lyricism and emotion. It continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and enduring appeal, making it a cherished treasure in the collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
