EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a mesmerizing scene of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Standing gracefully with her feet immersed in the tranquil waters, she is framed by a vibrant rose bush nestled between her legs. In front of her stands a majestic rock adorned with lush vegetation, creating an enchanting backdrop. On the right side of the image, Amor sits along the water's edge, observing intently as Mars relentlessly pursues Adonis in the background. Venus turns her gaze towards this unfolding event, displaying concern for Adonis' safety. Further in the distance lies a bustling cityscape that adds depth to this mythical tableau. The Latin text below provides additional context to this intricate composition. It speaks of Venus being wounded by thorns from a rose bush and how these roses transform from white to red – possibly alluding to both her connection with love and passion as well as intertwining with Adonis' story. Cupid is not merely depicted as an attribute but takes on his own significance within this narrative. Giorgio Ghisi's masterful engraving technique brings every detail to life on this delicate paper print measuring 304 mm in height and 214 mm in width. This artwork transports viewers into a world where mythological tales unfold before their eyes, inviting them to delve deeper into its rich symbolism and storytelling prowess.
