Vulkan smeder våben til Æneas 1501 - 1515

The roundel "Vulkan smeder våben til Æneas" (Vulcan Forges Weapons for Aeneas) is an anonymous work of art dating from 1501-1515, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The relief depicts the Roman god Vulcan forging weapons for the Trojan hero Aeneas, while Venus, goddess of love, watches over him. The piece is a fine example of the Renaissance interest in classical mythology and the craft of metalworking.
