"Venus at her Mirror" (also known as "The Rokeby Venus") is a celebrated oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created between 1647 and 1651. As one of Velázquez's final works, this masterpiece is renowned for its exquisite depiction of the goddess Venus in a sensual, reclining pose, gazing into a mirror held by her son Cupid. The painting is notable for its departure from the traditional representations of the mythological subject, presenting Venus from the back, with her face only visible as a reflection. This innovative perspective not only showcases Velázquez's skill in rendering the human form and the play of light on skin but also adds an air of mystery and intimacy to the work.

"The Rokeby Venus" is the only surviving nude by Velázquez, a rarity in Spanish art of the period due to the strict moral codes enforced by the Spanish Inquisition. The painting's provenance includes its namesake, the Rokeby Park in Yorkshire, England, where it was displayed for many years. Now housed in the National Gallery, London, the work has a storied history, including an infamous attack in 1914 by suffragette Mary Richardson, which resulted in significant damage, later meticulously restored.

As a quintessential example of Baroque painting, "The Rokeby Venus" has been extensively studied for its technical brilliance, its subtle commentary on the nature of beauty and vanity, and its place within the broader context of European art. Velázquez's use of soft, diffused light and his delicate treatment of the flesh tones contribute to the painting's reputation as a landmark of Western art, influencing generations of artists and continuing to captivate viewers with its enduring allure.
