From the collection of Brukenthal National Museum
Venus și Amor, pândiți de Pan (în Registrul inventar: Venus și Amor) is a 1597 unspecified by Agostino Carracci, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows the goddess Venus hiding with Cupid while Pan spies on them. Venus’s face looks worried. Cupid holds his finger to his lips like they’re playing a quiet game. Agostino Carracci painted this in 1587. It’s full of soft shadows and warm colors that make the scene feel alive. The artist often painted myths like this to show human feelings under the gods’ disguises. If you like this, check out more by Carracci, Agostino.
