Astraea Leaves the Earth
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Salvator Rosa, created around 1665. This monumental artwork, measuring 267x170 cm, can be found in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The Baroque masterpiece depicts a mythological scene with profound symbolism. In this enchanting composition, five individuals stand beneath a vast sky as Astraea, a mythological figure representing justice and divine order, prepares to depart from Earth. The figures include shepherds adoring the nativity of Astraea's departure. Rosa skillfully incorporates elements of agriculture and farming into the painting to symbolize humanity's connection to nature. The artist employs vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork to create an otherworldly atmosphere that evokes both awe and contemplation. A sword held by one of the figures represents justice while also alluding to warfare and conflict on Earth. Rosa's work reflects his deep knowledge of mythology and polytheistic beliefs prevalent during his time. Through this piece, he explores themes such as divinity, heavenly realms, and mankind's place within the cosmos. This print captures every intricate detail of Rosa's original masterpiece with remarkable clarity. It serves as a testament to Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving fine art for future generations without commercial use intentions.
