This lovely painting of the Roman goddess Venus is by Jan Massys, a Flemish Renaissance painter (1509 to 1575). Born in Antwerp, Belgium, into a family of artists, his father, Quentin Massys, a prominent painter was his first art teacher.
Jan Massys is known for his portraits and religious scenes, done in a style heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance artists such as Raphael and Michelangelo. This classical portrait of Venus, shows the goddess in a reposed position. In the background is a Fountain of Love.
This painting is a prime example of why Massys’ legacy lives on through his works, due to his technical skills, artistic vision and attention to detail.
