About the piece
Painted in 1629 by Joost de Pape, this oil on panel captures the poignant moment between the goddess Venus and her lover Adonis. The composition is defined by the striking contrast of Venus’s rich red drapery against the earthy tones of the landscape, while the presence of the hunting spear and hound foreshadow the tragic conclusion of their tale.
