"Venus Verticordia" is a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, created between 1864 and 1868. The artwork depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, but with a unique twist that reflects Rossetti's interpretation of her as a figure who turns hearts. The title "Verticordia" itself means "changer of hearts," suggesting a transformative power of beauty and love. In this painting, Venus is portrayed not just as an embodiment of physical allure but also as a potent force capable of influencing human emotions and desires.

Rossetti's Venus breaks from traditional depictions by focusing on her role in the moral and emotional spheres, rather than just her physical beauty. She is shown adorned with roses and apple blossoms, symbols of love and sensuality, and holds an arrow, hinting at her connection to Cupid, the god of desire. The inclusion of a honeysuckle, which traditionally symbolizes the bonds of love, further enriches the thematic complexity of the painting.

This artwork is significant in Rossetti's oeuvre as it encapsulates his fascination with mythological themes infused with Victorian symbolism. "Venus Verticordia" not only highlights Rossetti's skill in portraying rich, vibrant colors and intricate details but also reflects his deep engagement with themes of love, beauty, and their compelling power over human emotions. The painting is a quintessential example of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's style, characterized by its detailed naturalism and interest in themes from literature and mythology.
