EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Venus Adonis two hunting dogs says goodbye naked Venus" we are transported to a mythical world where love and desire intertwine. Painted by Bartholomeus Spranger around the late 16th century, this masterpiece captures a poignant moment between the goddess of love, Venus, and her mortal lover, Adonis. Set against a breathtaking mountainous landscape adorned with satyrs, nymphs, and graceful mountain goats, our attention is drawn to the central figures bidding farewell. Adonis stands tall with his two loyal hunting dogs at his side while Venus desperately clings to him in an attempt to prevent his departure. Cupid hovers nearby as a witness to their passionate exchange. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes bring life and movement to every element within the composition. A distant castle adds an air of mystery and enchantment to the scene. On the right side of the image, two pigeons delicately drink from a flowing stream symbolizing peace amidst impending separation. Spranger masterfully tells us a story through this painting - one that explores themes of love's vulnerability when faced with mortality. The contrasting emotions portrayed on each character's face evoke empathy from viewers as they contemplate what lies ahead for these star-crossed lovers. This remarkable piece showcases Spranger's artistic prowess in capturing both human emotion and natural beauty within one frame. It serves as a timeless reminder that even immortal beings like Venus cannot escape heartache when confronted with inevitable goodbyes.
