EDITORS COMMENTS
Venus and Adonis" is a captivating pen and brown ink drawing on tan laid paper laid down on ivory wove paper, created by the renowned Dutch artist Joachim Anthonisz Wtewael in the seventeenth century. This masterpiece, a testament to the rich heritage of art, is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcased in their impressive collection of prints and drawings. The drawing depicts the famous mythological tale from Greek and Roman mythology, where Venus, the goddess of love, is depicted in a circular, reclining position, seductively inviting her lover Adonis to join her. Adonis, a mortal man, is lying down beside her, seemingly reluctant to give in to her advances. The use of pen and brown ink with brush and brown wash creates a stunning contrast between the soft, sensuous curves of Venus and the rough, textured lines of Adonis' muscular form. The drawing is a prime example of Mannerist art, a style popular during the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe, characterized by elongated figures, exaggerated expressions, and a focus on the concept of art as an intellectual pursuit. The use of sepia tones adds to the drawing's timeless appeal, transporting us back to a bygone era. The two figures are depicted in a circular shape, with Venus' outstretched hand reaching towards Adonis, creating a sense of intimacy and connection. The drawing's round shape also emphasizes the circular theme of the mythological tale, where Venus' love for Adonis ultimately leads to his tragic death. This stunning work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly those with an appreciation for the intricacies of Mannerist art and the captivating tales of Greek and Roman mythology.
