About the piece
Painted in 1658 by Ferdinand Bol, a notable pupil of Rembrandt, this work masterfully captures a poignant moment from classical mythology. The painting showcases Bol's signature use of chiaroscuro and rich textures, contrasting the luminous, soft skin of Venus with the heavy, saturated red of Adonis's tunic and the atmospheric depth of the surrounding landscape.
