EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting that can be found in the esteemed Art History Museum in Vienna. Created by the talented artist Salvatore Rosa, this masterpiece belongs to the North Italian School and showcases his exceptional skill in depicting allegory and mythology. In this thought-provoking artwork, Astraea, also known as Astrea, symbolizes justice and righteousness. According to Greek mythology, she was the last immortal being to live amongst humans during the Golden Age. However, as humanity's behavior deteriorated over time, she abandoned Earth and ascended to the heavens. This painting captures her long-awaited return to restore order and balance. Rosa's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous brushstrokes that bring life to every element of this composition. The rich colors and dramatic lighting create a sense of grandeur while emphasizing Astraea's significance as she descends from above. "The Return of Astraea" serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle for justice throughout history. It intertwines art with literature and invites viewers into a world where mythological figures come alive on canvas. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece at the Art History Museum in Vienna, allow yourself to be transported back in time – immerse yourself in its Baroque beauty and contemplate its profound message about morality and virtue that still resonates today.
