EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment from classical mythology. Antonio Balestra, an esteemed Italian artist of the 17th and 18th centuries, masterfully depicts the scene of "Venus Appearing to Aeneas" with his skilled penmanship. The artwork showcases Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, revealing herself to Aeneas, a Trojan hero and central figure in Virgil's epic poem "Aeneid". With delicate brown ink strokes and subtle washes over black chalk on laid paper, Balestra brings this divine encounter to life. The composition exudes a sense of ethereal elegance as Venus gracefully emerges from behind billowing clouds. Her radiant presence is accentuated by the meticulous details that define her flowing hair and celestial gown. Meanwhile, Aeneas gazes upon her with awe-struck admiration as he kneels before her divine aura. Balestra's artistic prowess shines through in his ability to capture both the mythical grandeur and emotional depth of this pivotal moment. The combination of precise lines and soft shading creates a harmonious balance between lightness and darkness within the artwork. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only Balestra's talent but also Quint Lox's keen eye for capturing fine art in its truest form. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classical mythology depicted through timeless artistic expressions.
