About the Item

Coronation of Venus, 2021 Oil on Panel with 24k Gold Water-Gilded Frame, 114 x 78 inches “Coronation of Venus,” an ornamentally enriching piece from the studio of Justas and Vilius Varpucanskis, transports the viewer to an arcadian forest where the gentle beauty of Venus, the goddess of love, is gracefully adorned. This elegant oil painting on paneled ground, prominently situated in a bespoke tabernacle frame, provides an air of heartfelt admiration and enduring poise. As the eye wanders through the composition, it’s touched by the aesthetically rich concordance of earthy greens and browns, which harmoniously compliment the deeply saturated blues. The traditional red clay bole and gilding imbue the painting with a sense of grandeur, while the subtle distribution of light and shadows, achieved through the posing of veils, reveals an umbrous chiaroscuro effect. A lustrous varnish and soft, warm, ambient lighting encourage the viewer to step into the intimate, ethereal, yet pastoral world of the painting. Its palette of neutral colors presents a subtle verdant backdrop, allowing the symbolic richness and emotional resonance of the work to shine forth. In “Coronation of Venus,” the artists’ thoughtful display of color, composition, and light instills an atmosphere of laconic beauty that beckons the observer to linger. As Venus gazes into the distance, her enigmatic smile seems to whisper to the viewer, drawing them deeper into the idyllic realm of the painting. Provenance: Studio of Justas and Vilius Varpucanskis
