1650
unspecified
From the collection of Colecție particulară - Arad
Chronos răpind pe Amor lui Venus is a 1650 unspecified by Carlo Caliari, a Mannerism work, held at Colecție particulară - Arad.
This painting shows a muscular older man grabbing a small, winged child while a woman in a pink wrap looks on. The man holds a club, and the scene looks stormy in the background. The woman’s face is calm, but her body language seems tense. The older man’s beard and the child’s wings suggest this is a mythological story. The way light hits the figures makes them stand out against the dark sky. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how artists use light and dark like this.
Carlo Cannovaro Caliari (1570–1596) was an Italian artist of the Renaissance period.
