EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite oil on canvas painting titled "Minerva holding a lance while being crowned with laurels by a putto". Created in the 16th century, this artwork is attributed to Jacob de Backer or his studio. The composition measures 105.4 x 86.8 cm and currently resides in a private collection. In this piece, Minerva, the mythological figure from ancient Greece, stands tall and powerful as she holds a lance firmly in her hand. A cherubic putto delicately places a crown of laurels upon her head, symbolizing victory and honor. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting Minerva's divine presence. The artist skillfully captures the essence of femininity and strength through Minerva's graceful stance and confident expression. Her nudity represents purity and vulnerability while emphasizing her connection to classical mythology. This Flemish masterpiece exemplifies the rich artistic tradition of the 16th century with its meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of oil paint on canvas. It serves as a testament to Backer's talent as well as his ability to depict mythological characters with great finesse. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate both the beauty of Flemish artistry and the enduring allure of ancient Greek mythology captured within this stunning painting.
