The Spirit of the New Moon, 1888 🌚
Arthur Loureiro (Portuguese, 1853–1932)
"In the poem, the goddess Venus comes to the aid of Portuguese sailors when they are engaged in battle, and when struggling against the forces of nature, as powered by the malevolent gods. In Loureiro’s painting, Venus is depicted as confounding Adamastor, the spirit of the Cape of Good Hope (south-west South Africa), who eventually granted da Gama’s journey through this notoriously treacherous ocean passage."
