"Venus Verticordia" is a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, known for its emphasis on detail and symbolism. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Venus, holding an arrow to her breast, representing the power of love and desire. The painting's rich use of color and intricate detail reflects the Pre-Raphaelite style, which sought to revive the artistic techniques of the period before Raphael. While the exact date of the painting remains unknown, it is believed to have been created sometime during Rossetti's lifetime, between 1828 and 1882. This artwork currently resides in a private collection, and its exact dimensions are not publicly available.
