Venere e Amore nel segno dei Gemelli is a 1675 oil by Filippo Lauri, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a woman in a blue cloth, sitting on a cloud with a bow and arrow. She is surrounded by two cherubs and a white dove. The woman's left hand is raised, and her right hand holds the bowstring. The cherubs are looking at the woman, and the dove is flying towards her. The woman's facial expression is calm, and her body language suggests a sense of serenity. The cherubs' presence adds a touch of innocence and playfulness to the scene. The dove, often a symbol of peace, reinforces the overall sense of tranquility. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Filippo Lauri, an Italian Baroque painter known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques.
Filippo Lauri (1623–1694) was an artist, born in Rome.
