About the piece
Attributed to Frans Wouters, this 1640 oil painting captures the tragic mythological moment as Venus discovers the lifeless Adonis. Set against a deep, verdant woodland, the composition is enriched with symbolic details, including faithful hunting hounds and a celestial chariot drawn by swans, exemplifying the dramatic and narrative depth of Flemish Baroque art.
