EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Venus wounded in the hand, conducted by Iris to Mars" takes us back to the realm of classical mythology. Created by John Flaxman and reproduced here from a private collection, it showcases his exceptional talent for capturing emotion and storytelling. The scene depicts Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, nursing a wounded hand. With her delicate features marred by pain, she is guided by Iris, the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. Together they make their way towards Mars, god of war. This image transports us to a time long ago when gods roamed among mortals during the Trojan War as described in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. It hints at an intriguing narrative - perhaps Venus was injured while trying to protect her beloved son Aeneas or intervening in one of Mars' battles. Flaxman's masterful technique brings these ancient characters to life with remarkable detail and precision. His engravings were widely admired for their ability to convey both physical beauty and emotional depth. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that even within classical literature lies timeless themes such as love versus war and sacrifice for those we hold dear.
