1609 Blood Flows Hendrick Goltzius Short Swans Wound Oil Paint
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Hendrick Goltzius' masterpiece, "Dying Adonis". The image depicts the tragic scene of a nearly nude Adonis lying on the ground, his life force slowly fading away. From his wounded body, an exquisite short anemone emerges, symbolizing both beauty and fragility. The painting's composition is further enhanced by its celestial backdrop. In the vast expanse of sky above, Venus rides triumphantly in her majestic cart pulled by graceful swans. This juxtaposition between earthly mortality and divine immortality adds depth to the narrative. Goltzius' masterful use of oil paint brings out every intricate detail in this artwork. The texture and colors create a sense of realism that draws viewers into Adonis' plight. One can almost feel the warmth flowing from his blood as it nourishes the delicate petals of the anemone. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own mortality and how fleeting life can be. It serves as a poignant reminder to cherish each moment and appreciate beauty even in times of sorrow
