"Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus" is a notable painting by the Dutch Mannerist artist Joachim Wtewael (also spelled Uytewael), created in 1605. The title of the work translates from Latin to "Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus Freezes," which is a reference to the Roman deities: Ceres, the goddess of agriculture and grain; Bacchus, the god of wine; and Venus, the goddess of love. The phrase implies that love (Venus) cannot thrive without food (Ceres) and drink (Bacchus), highlighting the interconnectedness of sustenance and desire.

Wtewael was known for his intricate and highly detailed compositions, often filled with mythological and allegorical themes. "Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus" is a prime example of his mastery in combining complex iconography with vibrant, almost jewel-like colors. The painting is characterized by its elaborate depiction of the three deities in a lush, idyllic setting, surrounded by an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and other symbols of fertility and abundance. The figures are rendered with a meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Wtewael's skill in portraying the human form and his adeptness in creating dynamic, multi-figure compositions.

The work reflects the Mannerist style's penchant for elegance, artificiality, and a certain degree of playful exaggeration. Wtewael's use of elongated proportions, intricate poses, and a crowded, almost theatrical arrangement of figures and objects are hallmarks of this artistic movement. The painting not only serves as a visual feast but also as a rich tapestry of symbolic meaning, inviting viewers to contemplate the essential role of basic human needs in the pursuit of love and pleasure.

"Sine Cerere et Baccho Friget Venus" is housed in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands, where it continues to be admired for its artistic brilliance and its insightful commentary on the human condition. The painting remains an important work within Wtewael's oeuvre and a significant example of Dutch Mannerist art.
