Painting with Venus and Cupid Oil on Canvas '700

1700s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. The mythological subject that portrays together the two deities symbolize profane Love, has been extensively illustrated in art: as in this work, Venus is usually depicted in a languid attitude, while exhibiting her naked Beauty; Cupid, in the guise of a winged putto, is intent on drawing from his quiver one of his love-inducing darts, one of which is already lodged in the torso behind the goddess. Background an Italian landscape, with small architectural structure. The outline of the painting refers to an original shaped frame. Restored and re-framed, the painting is currently presented in a styled frame.
