About the piece
Painted in 1639 by Laurentius de Neter, this oil on panel masterfully captures the mythological themes of love and war. The scene depicts Venus reclining on a sumptuous bed, while Mars quietly prepares to leave in the background, accompanied by a playful Cupid and a small dog in a dark, atmospheric interior.
