Venus and Mars (c.1483). Sandro Botticelli.
The painting of Venus and Mars deals with an amorous victory. Venus is clothed and is attentively keeping watch over Mars as he sleeps. The god of war has taken off his armor and is lying naked on his red cloak; all he is wearing is a white loin cloth, while little fauns are playing mischievously with the weapons and armor of the god of war. Botticelli’s theme is that the power of love can defeat the warrior’s strength.
