EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Denarius coin from 84-83 BCE, depicting the enchanting Goddess Venus alongside her mischievous companion, Cupid. Created by an unknown artist during the Roman Empire's reign, this ancient artifact is a testament to the rich mythology and artistic prowess of that era. The image captures the intricate details of the coin with remarkable clarity. Against a subtle grey background, Venus' serene face emerges in profile, exuding grace and beauty. Her flowing hair cascades down her neck as she gazes into the distance with an air of divine wisdom. Cupid, depicted as a cherubic child with delicate wings, playfully rests upon Venus' shoulder. This symbolizes their eternal bond as mother and son while also representing love's power to conquer all. Crafted from silver, this denarius served not only as currency but also carried religious significance for ancient Romans who worshipped Venus as their goddess of love and fertility. The letterbox format allows us to appreciate every minute detail on this small yet significant piece of history. Displayed in an art gallery at Chicago's renowned Art Institute, this photograph invites viewers to delve into the mysteries of ancient Rome and explore its vibrant culture through visual storytelling. It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and connects us to our collective heritage—a timeless treasure waiting to be discovered anew by each generation.
