EDITORS COMMENTS
Cydippe with the Apple of Acontius" is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the Dutch artist Paulus Bor, created during the 17th century, a period known as the Dutch Golden Age. The artwork depicts a young woman, believed to be Cydippe, a character from Ovid's "Heroides," a collection of poetic letters written by mythological figures. In this painting, Cydippe is shown kneeling on the ground, her posture graceful and poised, as she holds the apple offered by Acontius. According to the myth, Acontius, smitten by Cydippe's beauty, threw an apple imbued with his love-struck essence at her. Upon eating the apple, Cydippe was so enamored that she vowed to marry Acontius, even though she had previously rejected his advances. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of European art, specifically the Dutch tradition. The use of oil paints allows for a luminous and vibrant color palette, with the apple's red hue standing out against the muted background. The young woman's expression is one of deep contemplation, as she reads the letter from Acontius, further emphasizing the power of love and the written word. This masterpiece, now a part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a reminder of the enduring influence of Greek mythology on literature and art. The painting's intricate details and exquisite execution make it a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, particularly those with a focus on the 17th century, mythology, or the history of the Netherlands. Paulus Bor's "Cydippe with the Apple of Acontius" is a stunning example of the Dutch Golden Age, showcasing the talent and creativity of the era's artists. The painting's timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences and inspire new generations of artists and art lovers alike.
