This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, riding in her chariot drawn by doves. The image is rendered in simple lines and has a classical feel. Piranesi, known for his architectural drawings and etchings, used his knowledge of Roman mythology and art to create this stunning work. This etching showcases his skill in capturing the beauty and power of the Roman gods and their stories.
