EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the year 1617, where two master painters, Jan Brueghel and Peter Paul Rubens, collaborated on a mesmerizing artwork titled "The Sense of Sight". This oil on panel masterpiece measures 65x109 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. As we delve into the composition of this painting, our eyes are immediately drawn to a central figure holding a telescope. The sense of sight is beautifully represented through various elements surrounding her. A globe symbolizes knowledge and exploration while portrait heads remind us of human perception. An allegorical representation of Venus and Cupid adds an element of love and desire to the scene. Amidst this rich symbolism lies a mischievous monkey perched atop a column, playfully reminding us that even animals possess their own unique sense of sight. The collaboration between Brueghel and Rubens seamlessly blends their artistic styles together, resulting in a harmonious fusion of colors and textures. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind "The Sense of Sight". It allows art enthusiasts from all over the world to appreciate these old masters' attention to detail and their ability to convey complex concepts through visual storytelling.
