"Venus at the Forge of Vulcan" is a painting by Flemish artist Jacob De Backer, believed to have been created in the late 16th century, during the Northern Renaissance. The artwork is an oil on canvas and depicts the Roman goddess Venus at the forge of Vulcan, the god of fire and metalworking. This mythological scene is a common subject in art, representing the juxtaposition of love and beauty with industry and craftsmanship.

In the painting, Venus is typically shown as an embodiment of beauty and desire, often attempting to persuade Vulcan to forge weapons for her other son, Aeneas, who is a hero of the Trojan War. The interaction between the divine figures is rich in allegorical meaning, exploring themes of love, seduction, power, and creativity.

Jacob De Backer was an Antwerp-based painter known for his Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures and complex compositions. His works often featured religious and mythological subjects, rendered with a high degree of detail and vibrant coloration. "Venus at the Forge of Vulcan" is considered an example of De Backer's skill in depicting intricate scenes with multiple figures and dynamic interactions.

The exact date of the painting's creation is uncertain, but it is typically dated to the late 1570s or early 1580s. The artwork reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance masters, which De Backer may have encountered through prints and other reproductions, as there is no evidence that he traveled to Italy.

"Venus at the Forge of Vulcan" by Jacob De Backer is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Northern Renaissance art and its interpretation of classical mythology. The painting is also significant for its representation of Mannerist aesthetics in the Low Countries during a period of cultural and artistic exchange between Northern and Southern Europe.
