EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Allegory of Venus" from 1496, a woodcut by Nicolas Le Rouge. The artwork beautifully personifies Venus, the star of love, gaiety, and music in Greco-Roman mythology. Set against an intricate interior backdrop, this allegorical representation exudes elegance and sensuality. In this scene, Venus is depicted as a nude goddess surrounded by various symbols associated with her divine attributes. A couple bathes in a bathtub nearby while a lutenist plays enchanting melodies on his instrument. The presence of a bull symbolizes Taurus, the astrological sign associated with Venus. Le Rouge's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to medieval France where his work was published in Troyes. This woodcut comes from "Le grant kalendrier et compost des bergieres" which translates to "The Great Calendar and Compost of Shepherds". It offers us insight into the artistic style and cultural interests prevalent during that time. With its fusion of romance and mysticism, this piece captures the essence of love's power throughout history. Its combination of eroticism and symbolism makes it an intriguing exploration into both occult practices and Renaissance aesthetics. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of the enduring allure that Venus has held over humanity for centuries – inspiring artistry, passion, and harmony among men and women alike.
