崇拜维纳斯
1630s
Rubens brings Ovid's ancient Roman festival of Veneralia to life with a chaotic, joyous swarm of over fifty chubby cherubs frolicking in a lush landscape. The putti are busy harvesting apples, playing, and offering fruits to a statue of the goddess Venus, while two women observe the scene from the right. Painted in the 1630s, this masterpiece showcases Rubens' signature Baroque energy and his love for fleshy, dynamic figures, likely inspired by a lost ancient Roman relief he had seen. It's a celebration of love and fertility that feels almost like a divine playground.
