About the piece
Painted around 1614, this work by Peter Paul Rubens is a virtuoso display of the artist's legendary ability to render human flesh and rich materials. The scene captures the goddess of love in an intimate moment, her golden hair being braided by a servant as she studies her own reflection in a mirror held by a youthful Cupid. The high contrast and warm palette create a sense of dramatic presence and classical beauty.
