"Venus asks Vulcan to forge Aeneas' armour" is a painting by the French artist Charles de La Fosse, created in the late 17th century. De La Fosse, known for his contributions to the Baroque style, was a prominent figure in the French art scene, particularly recognized for his work in decorative painting and his involvement in the decoration of the Palace of Versailles.

The painting depicts a scene from Roman mythology, where Venus, the goddess of love, requests Vulcan, the god of fire and metalworking, to forge armor for her son Aeneas. This narrative is derived from Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid," where Aeneas, a Trojan hero, requires divine assistance to fulfill his destiny of founding Rome. The artwork captures the moment of divine intervention, highlighting the interplay between the gods and their influence on human affairs.

De La Fosse's composition is characterized by its dynamic movement and rich color palette, typical of the Baroque period. The figures are rendered with a sense of drama and emotion, emphasizing the urgency and significance of Venus's request. The use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures, drawing the viewer's attention to the central interaction between Venus and Vulcan.

The painting reflects De La Fosse's mastery in blending classical themes with the ornate style of the Baroque, showcasing his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. His work on this piece exemplifies the grandeur and theatricality that defined much of his oeuvre, contributing to his reputation as a leading artist of his time.

Today, "Venus asks Vulcan to forge Aeneas' armour" is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of mythological storytelling through the medium of painting. It remains a significant example of Charles de La Fosse's contribution to the art world and his interpretation of classical mythology.
