Venus și Adonis is an unspecified by Francesco Landonio, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a man and a woman in a forest setting. The woman wears a blue cloak and a yellow draped garment, holding a baby with wings. The man leans over her, touching her shoulder while looking upward. The background has trees and a cloudy sky. The woman’s face is turned up toward the man, almost as if she’s surprised or caught off guard. The baby’s wings suggest it might be a mythological scene. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this painting uses strong light and shadow.
Francesco Landonio was the kind of painter who kept a cluttered studio above a butcher’s shop in Cremona, where the smell of meat drifted up through the floorboards.
