Item description
Antique oil on canvas painting depicting Venus and Adonis. The painting depicts in a sublimated atmosphere the death of Adonis, the young man loved by Venus, who was mortally wounded by a wild boar during a hunt. The myth, taken from Book X of Ovid's Metamorphoses, recounts that Venus, as soon as she hears in the distance the lament of the dying Adonis, descends to earth on her chariot drawn by swans, to assist him. Venus is depicted lying next to her dying beloved, their sinuous bodies close together seeming to merge in final grief, their tapering hands and long fingers drawing the despair of the moment, while the hunter's dog mournfully witnesses the tragic epilogue. Very good condition. France 18th century. Certificate of authenticity. Shipping throughout Italy, Europe and the rest of the world at very low prices in maximum security and traceable. Shipping will be agreed privately and will not be expensive.
