"Venus Wound" is an etching by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, known for his architectural prints and fantastical landscapes. The work depicts the Roman goddess Venus, wounded and being comforted by her son Cupid. The scene is set in a lush landscape, with a distant view of rolling hills. Piranesi's signature linework and detailed rendering are evident in the careful depiction of Venus’s form and Cupid’s wings. The etching is a compelling example of Piranesi’s mastery of the medium and his interest in classical mythology.
