Venus and Adonis

Item # 2476036

Peter Paul Rubens

<p>Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish Baroque artist. He is renowned for his extremely popular style which featured dynamic, dark, and dramatic compositions. He painted portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and religious subjects. Rubens is considered the most famous Flemish artist of the Baroque period.</p>

<p>The subject is from Ovid's?Metamorphoses?(completed 8 A.D). Accidentally pricked by one of Cupid's arrows, Venus fell in love with the handsome hunter Adonis. Rubens shows their leave-taking-a Renaissance embellishment famously depicted by Titian (see his canvas in Gallery 607). With manly indifference to the goddess's charms and her warnings of danger, Adonis hunted a wild boar and was gored to death. Except for its conclusion, the story was well suited to decorate grand country houses, where the chase occupied noblemen indoors and out.</p>
