Venus en Amor met Pan 1601

"Venus en Amor met Pan", a 1601 etching by Franz Aspruck, depicts a scene from Roman mythology. Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, is depicted with Cupid, the god of love, and Pan, the god of the wild. Pan is seen reaching toward Venus with a wreath, possibly symbolizing his pursuit of her. The scene is set in an interior with draped fabric and a column, likely representing the mythical context. This artwork is a prime example of Franz Aspruck's talent for detail and rendering human figures, and his exploration of classic mythos in his work.
