Description
Rubens took the subject of this painting from the Roman poet Ovid© �s Metamorphoses (completed A.D. 8). Accidently pricked by one of Cupid© �s arrows, Venus fell in love with the handsome hunter Adonis. With cavalier indifference to the goddess© �s charms and her warnings of danger, Adonis hunted a wild boar and was gored to death. Rubens shows their leave-taking© �a popular subject also famously depicted by Titian. Technical examination indicates that a later hand altered Adonis© �s expression to make it less foreboding.
