"Venus and Adonis" is a painting by the French artist Jean François de Troy, a prominent painter of the Rococo period. Created in the early 18th century, this artwork exemplifies de Troy's skill in depicting mythological subjects with a delicate and refined touch, characteristic of the Rococo aesthetic. The painting portrays the tragic love story of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and Adonis, a mortal youth, as told in Ovid's "Metamorphoses."

In the myth, Venus falls deeply in love with Adonis, a handsome young hunter. Despite her warnings about the dangers of hunting, Adonis is fatally gored by a wild boar, leaving Venus stricken with grief. De Troy captures a moment of tender intimacy between the divine and the mortal, often focusing on the sensuality and emotional depth of the scene. The composition typically features Venus in a pleading or sorrowful pose, trying to dissuade Adonis from pursuing the dangerous pastime that would ultimately lead to his demise.

Jean François de Troy (1679–1752) was an influential figure in French painting, serving as the director of the French Academy in Rome and later as the rector of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris. His works include historical and mythological scenes, as well as genre paintings that reflect the frivolity and elegance of the French court.

"Venus and Adonis" by de Troy is notable for its rich color palette, the fluidity of its brushwork, and the emotional resonance of its subject matter. The painting is a fine example of the artist's mastery in handling mythological themes with a blend of classical composition and the light-hearted, decorative qualities that define the Rococo movement. This work remains an important contribution to the canon of 18th-century French painting, offering insight into the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the era.
