EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Venus Adonis ca 1570 Engraving" transports viewers to a world of ancient mythology and timeless beauty. Created by Giorgio Ghisi, an Italian artist from Mantua in the late 16th century, this piece captures a pivotal moment from Ovid's narrative poem "Metamorphoses". In the scene depicted, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, stands beside her beloved Adonis. The engraving showcases their exquisite features and intricate details with remarkable precision. As the story goes, Cupid's arrow struck Adonis during a hunt when he ignored advice to avoid dangerous animals. Despite being urged against it, his handsome youth led him to confront a wild boar that ultimately killed him. The composition exudes both sensuality and tragedy as Venus gazes tenderly at her fallen lover. The delicate lines and shading bring life to their figures while evoking emotions of love, loss, and regret. Measuring approximately 12 5/8 x 8 7/8 inches (32 x 22.5 cm), this print is a testament to Ghisi's mastery of engraving techniques during the Renaissance period. It serves as a visual reminder of classical tales that continue to captivate audiences centuries later. Artokoloro has expertly reproduced this iconic artwork for all art enthusiasts who appreciate its historical significance and aesthetic allure.
