15th - 16th centuries · Ancient gods, humanism and pictorial invention
The Renaissance rereads the ancient gods to speak of love, power, virtue and knowledge: the myth becomes a vast laboratory of the body and the story.
From the 15th century, the rediscovery of ancient texts, their translation and their commentary placed Greek and Roman myths at the heart of European culture. Artists do not just illustrate Ovid or Homer: they adapt the stories to the ambitions of the courts, palace settings, nuptial celebrations and humanist debates. In Florence, Venus can embody beauty, desire or spiritual elevation; in Mantua, Rome and Venice, the loves of Jupiter, the labors of Hercules and divine triumphs compose complex cycles. In Mantua, Rome and Venice, the loves of Jupiter, the labors of Hercules and divine triumphs compose complex cycles. The monumental nude allows us to study anatomy and movement, while landscape, architecture and drapery give ancient episodes a sumptuous news. Correggio invents luminous and sensual embraces; Veronese organizes the gods in chromatic architectures where fabrics, gestures and sky celebrate painting itself. Mythology also allows allegory: Minerva, Mercury or Saturn can represent knowledge, prudence, time and government. This collection thus brings together images where erudition and visual pleasure remain inseparable. The "Mythological paintings of the Renaissance" selection notably compares Jupiter and Io and Venus to its toilet. His reading favors the material.
In resurgent mythology, Antiquity is not a fixed past: it becomes a language available for desire, politics and invention.
