"Venus, whose pricked foot stains the petals of a rose red, with Mars who pursues Adonis with an unsheathed sword" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. Created in 1528, this work is part of the decorative scheme in the Sala di Amore e Psiche (Room of Cupid and Psyche) located in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy. The fresco is one of many that adorn the walls of the room, each illustrating episodes from the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche as recounted by Apuleius in "The Golden Ass."

The scene depicted in this particular fresco is a dramatic and emotional moment from the mythological narrative involving Venus, the goddess of love; Mars, the god of war; and Adonis, the mortal beloved of Venus. In the artwork, Venus is shown with a foot that has been pricked, causing a rose to be stained red with her divine blood. This imagery is often interpreted as a symbol of the pain of love and the origin of the red rose as a symbol of passion. Meanwhile, Mars is depicted in a dynamic pose, brandishing an unsheathed sword as he pursues Adonis, adding a sense of urgency and danger to the scene.

Giulio Romano, a prominent pupil of Raphael, was known for his innovative approach to design and his ability to infuse his works with dramatic tension and emotional depth. The Sala di Amore e Psiche is considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his skill in creating complex narrative frescoes that are both visually compelling and rich in symbolic meaning.

The fresco is a significant example of High Renaissance art and reflects the period's interest in classical antiquity, mythological themes, and the exploration of human emotions through allegory. It remains an important work for the study of Renaissance art and the cultural context of the time, offering insight into the ways in which mythological subjects were interpreted and reimagined by artists of the era.
