About the piece
Painted around 1610, this work by Peter Paul Rubens exemplifies the artist's mastery of the human form and dynamic Baroque composition. Venus is shown attempting to restrain Adonis from his fateful hunt, her soft, luminous flesh contrasting with his muscular frame and the vibrant red of his cloak. The composition is filled with movement, from the twisting poses of the figures to the inclusion of a watchful Cupid and a pair of elegant swans in the background.
