About the piece
Created by Jacob Jordaens around 1615, this work is a quintessential example of Flemish Baroque art, characterized by robust figures and luminous skin tones. The composition portrays the sorrowful intimacy between Venus and the hunter Adonis, framed by dramatic red drapery and the presence of faithful hunting hounds under a dark, atmospheric sky.
