Título: Venus and Adonis
Descripción: Ver traducción automática
Venus and Adonis. Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, Siegen 1577-1640 Antwerp). Dimensions: With added strips, 77 3/4 x 95 5/8 in. (197.5 x 242.9 cm). Date: probably mid-1630s. The subject is from Ovid's Metamorphoses (completed 8 A.D). Accidently 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.
