EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Venus and Cupid" by Giovanni Battista Paggi, a renowned Italian artist from the 16th to 17th century. The artwork is housed in Musei di Strada Nuova, Palazzo Rosso in Genoa, Liguria, Italy. In this masterpiece of mythology and love, Paggi skillfully depicts Venus (also known as Aphrodite) and her son Cupid (also known as Eros). The naked woman symbolizes beauty and sensuality while Cupid represents desire and passion. Their tender embrace evokes a sense of intimacy between mother and child. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of paint brings out the intricate jewelry adorning Venus's body. Pearls dangle from her ears, enhancing her divine allure. This portrayal not only highlights their godly attributes but also emphasizes their connection with human emotions. Paggi's work seamlessly blends elements of Greek mythology with religious symbolism prevalent during the Cinquecento period. It serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and ability to capture complex narratives within a single frame. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this timeless piece through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even outside the walls of Musei di Strada Nuova. Her photograph preserves the essence of Paggi's artistry for generations to come.
