EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from "The Banquet of the Gods" by Hendrik van Balen the Elder. Set against a richly adorned backdrop, this scene transports us to the divine realm of Olympus where gods and goddesses gather for an extravagant feast. In this particular segment, we witness a harmonious blend of mythical beings indulging in earthly pleasures. Satyrs play their instruments with gusto while putti flutter around, adding an air of mischief and delight. The goddesses radiate elegance as they partake in sumptuous food and wine, surrounded by bountiful fruits that tempt the senses. Music fills the air as muses serenade with their celestial voices, accompanied by a cello and mandolin. Hermes (Mercury), messenger of the gods, joins in on this joyous occasion while cherubic putti sing along merrily. This baroque masterpiece captures not only the opulence but also the conviviality among these immortal beings. It is a celebration of life's abundance and beauty within Greek mythology. As we gaze upon this intricate detail captured through time, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with tales from ancient times. This artwork serves as a visual score sheet to immerse ourselves in an era where gods mingled with mortals during grand feasts like no other – "Le Festin des Dieux. "
