1498 1532 Adonis Combined Foot Foreground Marco Dente Rabbit Rock Rose Story Takes Thorn Thorns Venus White

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Venus rose Venus sits rock landscape takes thorn" transports us back to the enchanting world of Italian artist Marco Dente in the late 15th century. The image depicts the goddess Venus gracefully perched on a rugged rock within a serene landscape, surrounded by blooming roses. However, what truly captures our attention is the delicate moment when Venus delicately removes a thorn from her foot, showcasing her vulnerability and resilience. The composition is further enriched by the presence of a curious rabbit in the foreground, adding an element of innocence and playfulness to this mythological scene. It becomes evident that even divine beings like Venus can experience pain and discomfort caused by nature's beauty. Dente skillfully portrays Venus as wounded yet determined, emphasizing her connection with love and passion symbolized by the changing colors of roses from white to red. This transformation possibly alludes to the tragic story of Adonis, who was loved by both Aphrodite (Venus) and Persephone. Printed on high-quality paper using engraving techniques, this artwork showcases Dente's mastery in capturing intricate details while evoking emotions through his work. The Liszt Collection offers us an opportunity to appreciate this timeless masterpiece that beautifully combines mythology with natural elements
