Description : Venere nella fucina di Vulcano

Oil on canvas. Roman school of the 17th century. In classical mythology, the goddess Venus, wife of Vulcan, had him forge weapons for her son Aeneas. In the scene, set in the cave where the forge is located, Vulcan is in fact forging a suit of armor on the anvil, with the help of his assistants, while Venus, accompanied by the faithful Cupid, arrives to check the work. Thetis, the sea nymph mother of Achilles, also commissioned the weapons for her son to the same god Vulcan, to protect him during the Trojan War. Restored and relined, the painting has a loss of color at the top right. It is presented in an early 1900s frame, contemporary to the restoration.
