EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite print of 'Venus and Cupid' (1606), renowned Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens masterfully captures a tender moment between the goddess Venus and her mischievous son, Cupid. The scene is set in an intimate, golden-lit atmosphere, with Venus seated on a velvet-draped throne, cradling Cupid's head in her hand as he gazes up at her with adoration.
The divine mother-son duo are surrounded by symbols of love and desire: the quiver full of arrows lies abandoned at their feet, while Cupid's toy bow is slung carelessly over his shoulder. Venus' gentle touch on Cupid's chest serves as a poignant reminder of maternal devotion, tempered only by her daughter-like affection for this wayward cherub.
Rubens' use of rich color and texture creates an almost palpable sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer into the quiet contemplation shared between these two beloved figures from Roman mythology. This print is a testament to Rubens' skill as a painter and storyteller, inviting us to pause in this fleeting moment of tenderness and connection.
