The Feast of Venus, with groups of satyrs, nymphs, and putti dancing around a statue of Venus 1732

"The Feast of Venus" is a 1732 etching by Anton Joseph von Prenner, a Baroque artist who specialized in reproductive prints, copying works by famous masters. This print depicts a scene from Roman mythology, capturing the festive revelry surrounding the goddess Venus. Surrounded by playful putti, nymphs, and satyrs, Venus appears on a pedestal in the center of the print. The scene is bursting with activity and light, creating a vibrant depiction of Venus's domain. This work is a testament to Prenner's skill in capturing the essence of a painting through his printmaking techniques.
