"Venus and Adonis" is a collaborative painting by the Flemish artists Abraham Janssens and Jan Wildens, created in the early 17th century. This artwork is a representation of the mythological tale of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and Adonis, a mortal youth, which has been a popular subject for artists throughout the centuries. The painting is notable for its depiction of the passionate yet tragic love story between the divine and the mortal, as told by ancient sources such as Ovid's "Metamorphoses."

In this work, Janssens, known for his strong, Caravaggesque figures and dramatic use of chiaroscuro, is believed to have painted the figures, while Wildens, renowned for his landscapes, is credited with the background scenery. The collaboration between a figure painter and a landscape artist was not uncommon in the Flemish tradition, allowing each artist to play to their strengths and create a more compelling and harmonious composition.

The painting showcases Venus in a moment of tender pleading, attempting to dissuade Adonis from going on a hunt that would ultimately lead to his death. The emotional intensity of the scene is captured through the expressive figures and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, characteristic of the Baroque period. Wildens' contribution to the landscape provides a lush and idyllic setting that contrasts with the impending doom, enhancing the poignancy of the narrative.

"Venus and Adonis" by Janssens and Wildens is a significant example of Flemish Baroque painting, reflecting the era's artistic trends and the collaborative nature of art production in Antwerp during that time. The painting is appreciated for its artistry and as an interpretation of a timeless myth, resonating with themes of love, loss, and the human condition.
