"Venus Suckling Putti" is an engraving by Cornelis Galle the Elder (1576–1650), a Flemish Baroque engraver and printmaker. This work is part of a rich tradition of mythological representations in European art, depicting Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, in a maternal role as she nurses putti, which are often depicted as chubby male children or infants, sometimes with wings, and are commonly associated with the sacred and the profane love.

Cornelis Galle the Elder was a prolific artist who worked in Antwerp and was known for his collaboration with prominent artists of his time, such as Peter Paul Rubens, for whom he produced numerous engravings. Galle's works are characterized by their intricate detail and the harmonious blend of figures within the composition, reflecting the artistic ideals of the Baroque period.

"Venus Suckling Putti" exemplifies the Baroque fascination with classical antiquity, as well as the era's interest in exploring themes of love, motherhood, and the divine in a humanized form. The engraving likely served both as a work of art for collectors and as an illustration of the mythological themes that were popular in the literature and philosophy of the time.

The image of Venus with putti has been interpreted in various ways, often seen as a symbol of the nurturing aspect of love or the generative powers of nature. In Galle's rendition, the intimate interaction between the goddess and the putti may also reflect the 17th-century artistic exploration of the senses and emotions.

As an engraving, "Venus Suckling Putti" would have been accessible to a broader audience than a singular painting, allowing Galle's interpretation of the mythological subject to circulate widely and influence the visual culture of the period. The work remains an important example of Cornelis Galle the Elder's contribution to the printmaking tradition and to the visual representation of classical mythology in the Baroque era.
