EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century stump-work panel captures the figures of Mars and Venus, believed to have been intended for King Charles II and Queen Henrietta Maria. The intricate embroidery showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the time, with every detail meticulously stitched by hand. The panel depicts Mars and Venus in all their divine glory, surrounded by a lush floral background that adds depth and vibrancy to the scene. Mars, portrayed as a powerful male figure wearing regal attire, stands tall beside his counterpart Venus, who exudes grace and beauty in her flowing gown. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to an era where royalty reigned supreme. The presence of a lion symbolizes strength and power while hinting at the monarch's authority. This composition represents not only a partnership between two individuals but also embodies religious connotations associated with love and desire. The print itself is sourced from "The Connoisseur Volume 95" edited by Edward Wenham in London during the mid-20th century. It serves as a testament to our fascination with historical art forms that continue to captivate us today. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate the skillful hands that brought it to life centuries ago – an enduring reminder of human creativity throughout history.
