1550
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Venus and Vulcan is a 1550 by Giulio Romano, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a scene with several figures. In the center, a woman sits on a throne, holding a small object in her hand. A man stands behind her, looking down at her. There are also several small, winged children, called putti, playing around them. The woman is depicted in a classical style, with flowing robes and a crown on her head. The man behind her is dressed in simpler clothing, and his facial expression is more serious. The putti are shown in various poses, some playing with each other, others looking up at the woman and man. The drawing is done in a detailed, realistic style, with lots of fine lines and shading. It's a beautiful example of Renaissance art. If you're interested in more works like this, you might want to check out the artist, Romano, Giulio.
