About the Item
Hendrick Bloemaert
(Utrecht 1601/02 – Utrecht 1672)
Venus and Cupid
Oil on panel
H. 75 cm; W. 61 cm
Signed and dated 1636
Hendrick Bloemaert is a notable figure of the Golden Age of Dutch painting, although his work is often overshadowed by that of his more famous contemporaries. The son of the Mannerist painter Abraham Bloemaert, Hendrick grew up in a rich and stimulating artistic environment, which undoubtedly influenced his own creative journey.
He distinguished himself with remarkable technical mastery and a refined aesthetic sensibility. His works, often marked by great precision in the rendering of details and a subtle color palette, demonstrate a constant search for harmony and balance. He excelled in various pictorial genres, ranging from mythological scenes to portraits, with the figure being his preferred domain.
His style, while deeply rooted in the Mannerist tradition inherited from his father, also displays influences from Classicism and Baroque, giving his compositions a particular richness and complexity. Hendrick Bloemaert successfully integrated these different influences to create a unique visual language, where grace and rigor harmoniously combine.
Our panel, dated 1636, depicts Venus, goddess of love, and Cupid, her winged son. They are central figures in Roman mythology. Cupid, armed with arrows, provokes love or indifference, while Venus symbolizes beauty and seduction. They are often depicted together, illustrating the themes of love and desire. Their mother-son relationship is imbued with tenderness and complicity, inspiring numerous works like ours. Here, Venus turns her back, her shoulder bare, to the viewer, looking to the right of the shot, as if she disdains the admiration that might be shown her. Cupid is positioned facing us, half in shadow, his face slightly tilted in the most touching way possible.
