EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite etching of "Ceres" by Francois Perrier, dating back to approximately 1653. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess of agriculture and harvests in all her glory. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this piece is a true testament to Perrier's talent. Housed in a private collection, this particular print captures Ceres' classical beauty as she stands gracefully on a plinth, draped in flowing garments that accentuate her feminine form. Her headscarf adds an air of mystery to her countenance, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the mythology surrounding this iconic figure. Originally part of a book illustrating Rome's principal classical statues, "Ceres" holds historical significance as it was once located within the prestigious Borghese Collection. This photograph allows art enthusiasts to appreciate the sculpture's timeless elegance without having to travel far. The monochromatic palette enhances the ethereal quality of Ceres' presence while emphasizing every delicate contour and fold in her drapery. It invites us to contemplate not only Perrier's artistic skill but also the enduring power and symbolism behind ancient Roman sculptures.
