EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Venus Consoling Love" by renowned artist Francois Boucher. Created in 1751, this masterpiece is housed within the esteemed collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The image captures a tender moment between Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, and Cupid, her mischievous son. In a serene garden setting, Venus sits gracefully while holding Cupid close to her heart, consoling him with affectionate touch. Boucher's artistry shines through in this French Rococo painting as he skillfully portrays the allegorical figure of Venus with vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes. Her nakedness symbolizes purity and vulnerability while emphasizing her divine nature as a deity. The cherubic presence of Cupid adds an element of innocence to the scene. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and serenity that transports viewers to another time and place. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork captured in print form, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds over our emotions and imagination. Published in 1944 as part of "Masterpieces of Painting" edited by Huntington Cairns and John Walker, this photograph preserves not only Boucher's artistic genius but also serves as a testament to the rich history contained within the walls of prestigious galleries like the National Gallery of Art. It allows us to appreciate both past eras such as 18th-century France when it was created and more recent times during which it has been admired
