Marte y Venus unidos por Amor

1570s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 608
El tema de este lienzo, la unión de Marte (dios de la guerra) y Venus, enlazados por Cupido con un nudo de amor, es una celebración de los efectos bienhechores y civilizadores del amor, sugeridos por la leche que fluye del seno de Venus y la brida que sujeta el caballo de Marte al árbol. El Veronés pintó este famoso cuadro cuando estaba en el apogeo de sus facultades. A principios del siglo XVII, pertenecía, junto con otras escenas mitológicas y alegóricas del mismo artista, a la colección de Rodolfo II, emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano, en Praga. La obra del pintor veneciano, uno de los grandes maestros de la luz y el color, ejerció perdurable influencia sobre artistas posteriores, desde Annibale Carracci y Velázquez hasta Tiepolo.
