EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti's masterpiece, "Venus Verticordia" created in 1867. The artwork, rendered with red, black, white, and blue chalk on paper, is a mesmerizing portrayal of the mythological goddess of love and beauty. In this half-length portrait, Venus exudes an ethereal aura as she gazes into the distance. Her enchanting presence is enhanced by her nude form and flowing locks that cascade down her shoulders. Holding an apple in one hand and arrows in the other, she symbolizes both temptation and desire. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of Venus' delicate features while infusing vibrant colors to bring life to the composition. The use of different chalks adds depth and texture to the piece. Rossetti's work seamlessly blends mythology with botanical elements as he incorporates fruits into his depiction of Venus. This fusion represents not only her divine status but also alludes to themes of fertility and abundance. As we admire this timeless creation through Bridgeman Images' expertly captured photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness the allure and power embodied by ancient myths. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to expressing human emotions such as love, desire, and beauty.
