Loves First Lesson, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Solomon Joseph Solomon that beautifully captures the essence of love and desire. The artwork, measuring 118.1x91.4 cm, showcases a private moment between Venus and Cupid in an intimate setting. In this enchanting scene, Venus lies on a sumptuous bed adorned with intricate furnishings while Cupid stands beside her holding his bow and arrow. The artist skillfully portrays the vulnerability of love as Cupid appears to be teaching Venus how to use the weapon of affection. Solomon's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, particularly in his depiction of the nude figures. While nudity may be seen as provocative or controversial today, it was commonly used in classical art to symbolize purity and beauty. The composition exudes sensuality through its subtle play of light and shadow, emphasizing the curves of their bodies and highlighting their connection. It invites viewers into a world where passion reigns supreme. This timeless masterpiece from 1885 continues to captivate audiences with its portrayal of love's first lesson – an eternal reminder that even deities need guidance when it comes to matters of the heart.
