EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Statue of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, sex, and fertility. In this exquisite depiction, we witness a rare moment as she delicately removes a splinter from her foot. The artist behind this masterpiece is Francois-Anne David (1741-1824), who meticulously drew and engraved illustrations based on Roman statues, engraved stones, and medals found in the Museum de Florence and the cabinet of curiosities belonging to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. David's copperplate engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of this ancient sculpture. The stipple engraving technique adds depth and texture to Venus' naked form while emphasizing her timeless beauty. This artwork transports us back to classical Rome when gods and goddesses were revered for their divine powers. The statue itself symbolizes not only physical allure but also embodies love's transformative power. As Venus tends to her own discomfort with grace and poise, we are reminded that even deities experience vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not only in perfection but also in our ability to care for ourselves. This remarkable piece invites us into an enchanting world filled with mythological wonders where art intertwines with history. It celebrates both the artistic mastery of Francois-Anne David and the enduring legacy of Roman mythology captured within these antiquities.
