战神与维纳斯因爱结合

Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari) Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 608

这幅图上,丘比特用爱之结将战神(玛尔斯)与维纳斯绑在一起。维纳斯乳房中流出的乳汁和拴住战神之马的绳子都表明,这幅画颂扬了爱情具有滋养和驯服的效果。在十七世纪早期,这幅画与维洛尼塞的其他神话和寓言场景画悬挂在一起,被神圣罗马帝国皇帝鲁道夫二世收藏在布拉格。这是维洛尼塞最著名的绘画之一,在他创作高峰时期完成。这位威尼斯画派的画家是位善于运用光线和色彩的顶级大师,他的作品对从安尼巴莱·卡拉齐和委拉斯开兹到提埃波罗的后世艺术家产生了深远的影响。
