EDITORS COMMENTS
Title Page: Large Pendant, Venus and Amor at Centre, 1596, is an exquisite engraving by the renowned 16th century artist Daniel Mignot. This stunning work of art transports us back to the Baroque era, showcasing the rich heritage of German art from the late Renaissance period. At the heart of this intricately designed pendant lies the captivating scene of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, and her son Amor, the god of love. Surrounding them are various mythical creatures, including a faun and two rabbits, Les Lapins, which were believed to be sacred animals associated with Venus. The faun, a half-man, half-animal creature, is depicted playing a pipe, adding a whimsical touch to the scene. The pendant's border is adorned with elaborate strapwork, a popular decorative motif during the Baroque era. The monochrome, black and white design adds to the timeless and classic appeal of this piece. The engraving's intricate details and fine lines are a testament to Mignot's exceptional skill as an engraver. This title page is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the mythology, religion, and literature of the time. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to captivate our imaginations with its fantastical creatures and mythological tales. This Title Page: Large Pendant, Venus and Amor at Centre, 1596, is now part of the prestigious collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
