EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of maritime abundance through a beautiful allegorical representation. In the image, Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility, is depicted sitting gracefully on the bow of a ship. She holds a bouquet of hemp in one hand and a branch with silk worm cocoons attached in the other. Ceres' presence symbolizes prosperity and bountiful harvests that are brought forth by the sea. The grains hanging from her boat further emphasize this idea, showcasing an abundant supply of food that sustains communities. The engraving is part of "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte, Erzieher und freunde Hoherer Geschmacksbildung" (Iconology or ideas from the sphere of passions and allegories. . . ), published in Vienna in 1801. This book contains 225 illustrations that provide visual representations for artists, poets, scholars, educators, and those seeking refined taste. This particular print belongs to a private collection but has been made available through Fine Art Finder. Its intricate details and symbolic meaning make it an exquisite addition to any art enthusiast's collection. Whether displayed as part of a gallery wall or showcased individually as a focal point piece, this allegory serves as a reminder of nature's generosity and our connection to its abundance.
