EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Pieter Coecke van Aelst, showcasing the artist's mastery of the Northern Renaissance style. This exquisite print, measuring 47.5x35 cm, transports viewers to the Louvre in Paris, where it resides as part of their esteemed collection. In this enchanting scene, we witness a celestial beauty competition taking place among four goddesses: Minerva, Aphrodite, Juno, and Athena. As they peacefully slumber under a starlit sky, Mercury and Cupid watch over them with curiosity. The central figure is Venus herself - the goddess of love and beauty - depicted in deep sleep while cradling a golden orb. The composition exudes an ethereal quality with its soft colors and delicate brushwork. A magnificent fountain gushes forth behind the dreaming deities, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere that permeates every inch of this masterpiece. Van Aelst's attention to detail is evident in each figure's intricate drapery and serene expressions. The artist skillfully captures both grace and vulnerability within these mythological beings. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to bring home a piece of art history from one of Europe's most prestigious museums. Whether displayed on its own or as part of an art collection, "The Dream of Paris" invites viewers into a world where gods roam freely amidst dreamscape landscapes – an eternal reminder that even immortal beings find solace in slumber.
