Prague School/Rudolfina of the 16th/17th century
Prague School/Rudolfina of the 16th/17th century
Venus and Cupid
Oil on canvas
121 x 82 cm
The artwork represents a prestigious testimony of Rudolfine art with clear reminiscences of Italian Renaissance and Mannerism, especially the Venetian art of Titian and his subjects with female nudes. Despite being in the Counter-Reformation of the Catholic Church, sensuality is a very recurrent theme in the Rudolfine sphere, where the spirit of the Renaissance lives on, investigated pictorially by the most renowned artists of the Prague cenacle such as Hans von Aachen, Daniel Froschl, Matthaus Gundelach, Joseph Heintz, Dirck de Quade van Ravesteyn and Bartholomaus Spranger.
