EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving from the 19th century, inspired by a renowned illustration by Raffaello Sanzio. The artwork, now part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of mythology and religion. In this enchanting scene, we witness a transport vehicle adorned with intricate pagan symbols and motifs. A majestic dove gracefully perches on top of the chariot, symbolizing peace and divine intervention. This bird holds great significance in various religious traditions as a messenger between humans and deities. The focal point of the engraving is undoubtedly Venus Aphrodite herself, the goddess of love and beauty. She stands elegantly within the chariot alongside her companion animal - perhaps representing her connection to nature or her power over animals. The coupling depicted here could be interpreted as both literal and metaphorical; it may allude to Venus' association with fertility or represent her ability to unite people through love and desire. Giancarlo Costa's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate detail etched into this historical masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where art served as a medium for storytelling and spiritual contemplation.
