EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dante Gabriel Rossetti's masterpiece, "Venus Verticordia (Venus the changer of hearts)". Created in 1868, this watercolor and gouache on paper painting measures 67x59 and is currently held in a private collection. The image captures the essence of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. In this artwork, Venus stands as a symbol of transformation and power. With her arrow poised to strike, she holds the ability to change hearts at will. Surrounding her are various elements that contribute to the allegorical nature of the piece. Arrows represent weapons used by Cupid to inspire desire, while fruits symbolize fertility and temptation. Rossetti's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of Venus' nakedness - an ode to classical artistry. Her face exudes both strength and vulnerability as she embodies Aphrodite, a mythological figure associated with love and passion. The artist incorporates botanical elements such as flowers into the composition, emphasizing nature's connection with love and beauty. A butterfly flutters nearby; its delicate wings mirroring Venus' ethereal presence. "Venus Verticordia" serves not only as a stunning portrait but also delves into themes of mythology, paganism, religion, and human emotion. It invites viewers to contemplate notions of love's transformative power while celebrating feminine allure through Rossetti's unique interpretation.
