EDITORS COMMENTS
The Feast of the Gods: The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis, 1589-1632" is a stunning masterpiece of Flemish art, created by the collaborative efforts of three renowned artists: Johannes Rottenhammer the Elder, Jan Brueghel the Elder, and Hendrick van Balen. This grand painting, earlier ascribed to Rottenhammer, depicts a scene from Greek mythology, where the gods gather to celebrate the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. The canvas is filled with an abundance of vibrant colors and intricate details, showcasing the artists' exceptional skills in capturing the essence of the mythological world. The banquet unfolds in a series of caves and geographical features, with the gods and goddesses reclining on luxurious fabrics and feasting on an array of sumptuous foods. Cherubs and amorini frolic amongst the guests, adding an air of playfulness to the celebration. The central figures, Peleus and Thetis, are depicted in the midst of their nuptials, surrounded by the deities of Greek mythology. Thetis, a Nereid, is shown in her nude form, while Peleus is dressed in royal attire. The gods, including Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury, are all present, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. This painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Flanders and Denmark, where the artists hailed from. The collaboration between Rottenhammer, Brueghel, and Balen resulted in a visual narrative that continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details, vibrant colors, and the timeless beauty of Greek mythology. The Feast of the Gods: The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis, 1589-1632 is a must-see for anyone interested in art, mythology, or the history of European painting. This masterpiece is currently on display at the National Gallery of Denmark, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
