Venus 

This etching, titled "Venus," was created by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a prominent figure in 18th-century architectural and archaeological art. The work depicts the Roman goddess Venus seated in a chariot, drawn by two putti (winged cherubs) holding flaming torches. Piranesi's meticulous detailing and masterful use of line create a sense of classical grandeur. This print showcases his interest in antiquity, particularly in Roman mythology and architecture.
