EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wedding Feast of Peleus and Thetis, captured in this stunning print by Frans van den Wyngaerde, transports us back to the 17th century. This allegorical masterpiece depicts a grand banquet where gods, goddesses, and mythical figures gather to celebrate the union of Peleus and Thetis. The scene is filled with angelic amorini cherubs who flutter around the dining table, adding an ethereal touch to the festivities. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this Flemish artwork - from the intricate furniture adorned with grape vines to the abundance of fruit that adorns it. As we explore this image further, we encounter various mythological characters such as Diana, Juno, Minerva, and Hera. Each figure exudes grace and elegance as they engage in lively conversation or make hand gestures that convey their emotions. The Wedding Feast takes inspiration from Ovid's Metamorphoses and showcases Van den Wyngaerde's mastery in capturing both human form and divine beauty. The nude nymphs add a sense of sensuality while paying homage to Greek mythology. This remarkable etching now resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; its presence there ensures that future generations can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance. Through this photograph print, we are transported into a world where gods mingle with mortals amidst feasting and celebration.
