About the piece
This 17th-century oil painting by Andrea Boscoli captures the poignant moment from Roman mythology as Venus discovers the lifeless body of her lover, Adonis. Executed with the dramatic lighting and elongated figures characteristic of the Mannerist period, the work features a celestial host of mourning putti and a weeping Cupid, set against a brooding, atmospheric landscape.
