EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Aeneid, Canto V. In this detail of Nicolo dell Abate's fresco, we witness the divine encounter between Venus and Neptune. The artist skillfully portrays the goddess of love and beauty, Venus (also known as Aphrodite), fervently praying to Neptune, the god of the sea. The composition is rich in symbolism and emotion. Venus beseeches Neptune for protection over Aeneas' ships as they embark on their perilous journey. The delicate brushstrokes bring out every nuance of expression on Venus' face - her eyes closed in devotion, her hands clasped together in supplication. The architectural backdrop adds depth to the scene, with its intricate details reflecting both Renaissance and mythological influences. The vibrant colors used by Abate further enhance the ethereal quality of this artwork. Displayed at Galleria e Museo Estense in Modena, Italy, these detached frescoes were originally part of Rocca dei Conti Boiardo's Camerino dell Eneide in Scandiano. This particular detail showcases Scene 12 from Canto V - an important moment where a mother's plea for her son's safety resonates deeply. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers are transported into a world where gods and mortals intertwine. It serves as a reminder that even mythical figures seek divine intervention during times of adversity – just like us mere mortals do today.
