About ‘Venus and Adonis, Jusepe De Ribera’
Venus and Adonis, Jusepe De Ribera (1637)
The myth of Venus and Adonis has reached its final scene. Adonis, the beautiful young man loved by Venus, has been killed by a boar while hunting. The goddess bursts into the scene with a leap which is not just a dramatic device but reflects the original myth. Ovid, in Book 10 of the Metamorphoses relates that Venus was travelling in a chariot drawn by swans while returning to Cyprus, when she heard the moans of the dying Adonis and came hurtling down from the sky.
