EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Feast of the Gods" by Hendrik van Balen the Elder, a renowned Flemish painter from the 17th century. The painting, housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, depicts an extravagant banquet attended by gods and goddesses from Greek mythology. In this lively scene, we witness a gathering of divine beings indulging in opulence and revelry. A magnificent greyhound gracefully wanders amidst the banqueting table adorned with sumptuous delicacies like oysters. Mercury, the messenger god known for his winged sandals and caduceus staff, stands tall at the center of attention. The composition is filled with classical figures embodying various deities such as Bacchus and cherubs symbolizing love and desire. The artist masterfully captures their expressions as they engage in merriment and debauchery. "The Feast of the Gods" transports us to a world where mortals mingle with immortals while partaking in earthly pleasures. It serves as a testament to van Balen's skillful brushwork and his ability to bring mythological tales to life on canvas. This print by Peter Willi beautifully preserves this timeless masterpiece for art enthusiasts worldwide to admire its intricate details and immerse themselves in its rich narrative.
