Marte e Vênus unidos pelo amor

1570s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 608
Esta pintura em que Cupido liga Marte, o deus da guerra, a Vênus com um nó de amor, celebra os efeitos educativos e sociais do amor, como indicado pelo leite que flui do peito de Vênus e alimenta o cavalo de Marte. No início do século XVII, foi pendurada ao lado de outras cenas mitológicas e alegóricas pelo artista na coleção de Rudolph II, imperador do Sacro Império Romano, em Praga. Esta é uma das mais famosas pinturas de Veronese, criada quando ele estava no auge de sua vida ativa. O pintor veneziano era um dos maiores mestres de luz e de cor e seu trabalho teve uma influência “duradoura sobre os artistas posteriores, de Annibale Carracci e Velázquez à Tiepolo.
