EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting titled "Hypnos Sending Jupiter and Juno to Sleep" artist Balthasar Beschey transports us into a mythical realm where gods and goddesses roam. The scene depicts the powerful god Hypnos, known as the personification of sleep, casting his hypnotic spell upon Zeus (Jupiter) and Hera (Juno), the king and queen of the gods. Measuring 25x20 cm, this exquisite artwork can be found at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. Flemish artist Beschey skillfully captures the essence of slumber with his delicate brushstrokes. The sleepy landscape serves as a tranquil backdrop for this intriguing plot unfolding before our eyes. As we observe, Zeus and Hera are shown reclining on an opulent divan while surrounded by peacocks symbolizing immortality. Their expressions reveal their gradual surrender to Hypnos' narcotic influence as they succumb to a deep sleep. Beschey's composition invites us to ponder what secrets these divine lovers may be plotting in their dreams or what mischief awaits them once they awaken from their enchanted slumber. This enchanting portrayal reminds us that even mighty deities need restorative rest. This mesmerizing print is sure to captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate mythological narratives brought to life through masterful technique. Let yourself be transported into this dreamlike world where gods reign supreme and love intertwines with magic under Hypnos' watchful eye.
