The story behind the subject
Step into the world of Venus & Aphrodite, where ancient stories still stir the heart. Cabanel presents Venus reclining on the sea, attended by winged figures. The Metropolitan Museum identifies this 1875 painting as a smaller replica commissioned by John Wolfe of Cabanel’s celebrated 1863 Birth of Venus, a mythological composition made in the academic tradition. Let this tale bring a little wonder to the place you call home.
Museum-verified interpretation.
