Domenico Tintoretto’s *Venus and Mars with Cupid and the Three Graces in a Landscape* is a vibrant and captivating painting that captures the beauty and drama of classical mythology. Painted between 1590 and 1595, the work depicts the Roman goddess Venus, reclining with the god of war, Mars, surrounded by the Three Graces and Cupid.
