translated by George Semler
The things that lie within are more difficult to reach than superficial vices and virtues.
—Peter Paul Rubens from Tacitus, 1624
The painting Die frierende Venus (The Freezing Venus) by Peter Paul Rubens was a beautiful and inscrutable woman’s constant companion until her dying day. Whether Nanni saw her own constantly changing feelings of love, loyalty, and sensuality in the carnal ambiguity of the naked form remains a mystery. Inner truth and external life events erode the borders between art and life.
