EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco from the Villa de Mars and Venus in Pompeii, dating back to the 1st century AD. The artwork, now displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Naples, depicts the enchanting scene of Ares (Mars) and Aphrodite (Venus), accompanied by their sons Eros (Cupid) and Fortuno. In this portrayal, Aphrodite reclines seductively in the arms of Ares, her beauty radiating as she remains half-naked. Meanwhile, their mischievous sons playfully engage with the weapons of their divine father. Cupid's wings flutter gracefully as he handles these powerful symbols of war while Fortuno curiously explores them without wings. The artist skillfully captures both the sensuality between Ares and Aphrodite and the innocence of childhood curiosity exhibited by Eros and Fortuno. This juxtaposition creates a harmonious balance within this ancient masterpiece. The fresco not only serves as an exquisite example of Roman art but also offers insight into mythology and symbolism prevalent during that era. It reminds us that even gods experience love, desire, and familial bonds. As we gaze upon this print captured by Luisa Ricciarini through Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history—a testament to human creativity enduring for centuries.
