EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dante Gabriel Rossetti's masterpiece, "Venus Verticordia (Venus the changer of hearts)" created in 1868. The painting, held in a private collection, is a mesmerizing blend of body and mythology that epitomizes the artistic genius of Great Britain. In this watercolour piece, Rossetti skillfully captures Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. With an erotic allure and delicate nudity, he presents her as a symbol of desire and passion. The artist draws inspiration from ancient Rome to create an allegory that explores themes of love and transformation. As a prominent figure within the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement, Rossetti's work often focused on mythological subjects with meticulous attention to detail. In "Venus Verticordia" his mastery shines through every brushstroke as he depicts the nude woman with reverence befitting a goddess. The gouache on paper technique employed by Rossetti adds depth and richness to this fine art image. It invites viewers into a world where worshiping Venus takes center stage – an offering made to evoke profound changes in matters of the heart. This print serves as both homage to Rossetti's extraordinary talent and testament to his enduring influence on art history. It allows us to appreciate his ability to capture ethereal beauty while exploring timeless themes that continue to resonate today.
