비너스와 아도니스 by Peter Paul Rubens, Circa 1610

Imagine trying to leave for a hunt and your goddess partner literally clings to you while a baby pulls your leg—that's the dramatic vibe here! Rubens captures the mythological moment where Venus desperately tries to stop her lover Adonis from leaving, knowing it will lead to his death by a wild boar. The muscular figures and emotional intensity are classic Baroque style, full of movement and tension. Rubens was so obsessed with this tragic love story from Ovid's Metamorphoses that he painted this composition multiple times throughout his career.
