Janos Gabriel Stein. Nymph of Venus. Personification of Love. Early 20th century.

Janos Gabriel Stein. Nymph of Venus. The personification of love. The picture is filled with a charming, affectionate and submissive nymph - the personification of love. In the bliss of awakening, ripening languor, she plays with a golden chain. Bowing his head, he looks towards the medallion, keeping the image of his beloved, and a touching (maybe even naive) fidelity to feelings. Fascinating, captivating nudity - amazing! Full of purity and earthly grace, humility that captured love and fate. At Her feet is an antique vase with a musical procession and an abandoned field bouquet. A vase, as a universal symbol of a woman, a receptacle for all the great mystery of life. Decorated, in accordance with the music of love, sometimes cheerful, sometimes thoughtful, receding melody. This is a sign of the fullness of life, the entire cycle of love from sympathy to separation. An abandoned bouquet is a sign of parting, a prediction of finiteness. But in the sacrificial service of love, obedience to fate - the eternal truth of being.
