EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century Italian earthenware plate transports us to the realm of mythology and love. Depicted on its surface is Vulcan, the god of fire and forge, diligently forging arrows for Cupid, the mischievous god of desire. The plate emanates a sense of timeless beauty with its vibrant colors and intricate details. In this allegorical scene, Venus, the goddess of love herself, watches over Vulcan's work. The night sky adds an air of mystery as we witness this divine craftsmanship taking place under cover of darkness. The plate serves as both a religious artifact and a testament to human creativity during the Renaissance period. The male figures depicted are shown in their nakedness, symbolizing vulnerability and purity in their pursuit of love. This portrayal highlights not only their physicality but also their emotional state as they engage in this laborious task. The plate's origin is believed to be from Deruta, Italy - renowned for its exquisite ceramics during that time. It stands as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the power that art holds in capturing moments from ancient times while transcending boundaries such as time or commercial use. Mike Dixon's photograph allows us to appreciate every detail and immerse ourselves in the enchanting world it portrays without any commercial intent or affiliation with any company named Dixon.
