EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite masterpiece "Venus and Cupid" by Jacques de Backer. Painted in oil on panel, this Netherlandish artwork is housed in the Musee National de la Renaissance in Ecouen, France. The painting depicts Venus, the goddess of love, alongside her mischievous son Cupid. In the background, Troy burns as a symbol of destruction and chaos. The artist skillfully captures Venus's beauty and grace as she stands nude with an arrow in one hand and a quiver at her side. Cupid playfully hides behind his mother's leg while holding a mask, representing disguise and deception. This Northern Renaissance piece was once attributed to Primaticcio but has since been reattributed. The print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork - from the delicate brushstrokes that bring Venus to life to the rich colors used to depict both figures against a dramatic backdrop. It serves as a testament to Backer's talent for capturing emotion through his art. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply drawn to classical mythology, this print is sure to be a stunning addition to any collection or space where it is displayed.
