EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painting "Aries, from the Signs of the Zodiac" by Jacob Jordaens. Created in oil on canvas, this masterpiece is located in the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris, France. The artwork adorns the ceiling of the East Gallery, which currently serves as an annex to the Library of the Senate. Originally part of Jordaens Hotel in Antwerp, this stunning piece was acquired by the Senate in 1802 and arranged according to the Republican Calendar. Aries represents one of twelve signs of the zodiac and symbolizes strength and determination. In this depiction, Aries is portrayed as a male figure adorned with armor and wielding a sword. Holding a torch high above his head, he exudes power and vitality. Interestingly, Aries is also associated with Mars (the god of war) and shares similarities with Ares from Greek mythology. The painting further illustrates Aries' connection to music as he can be seen playing a lyre while surrounded by sheep—a nod to his role as a shepherd. This fusion of elements from astrology and mythology exemplifies Jordaens' skillful execution within Northern Renaissance art. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork continues to captivate viewers today. It serves as both an astrological representation and a testament to Jordaens' artistic prowess during his time.
