"Venus and Adonis in a Landscape with Cupid by Their Side" is a notable work by the Dutch Mannerist painter Joachim Wtewael (also spelled Uytewael), who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This painting, executed in oil on canvas, is a fine example of Wtewael's intricate and erotically charged mythological scenes, which are characterized by their vibrant colors, high degree of finish, and complex compositions.

The painting depicts the tragic love story of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and Adonis, a mortal youth of remarkable beauty. According to the myth, Venus falls deeply in love with Adonis, but their romance is doomed as Adonis is fatally wounded by a wild boar during a hunt. In Wtewael's rendition, the figures of Venus and Adonis are typically shown in an idyllic and lush landscape, with the goddess often attempting to dissuade Adonis from hunting, highlighting the moment of tender yet foreboding intimacy between the lovers. Cupid, the god of desire and affection, is usually included in the scene, symbolizing the presence of love and the emotional bond between the central characters.

Wtewael's work is distinguished by his ability to blend Northern European attention to detail with the elegant forms and compositional principles derived from Italian Renaissance and Mannerist art. His paintings often feature elongated figures, contorted poses, and a heightened sense of drama, all of which are evident in "Venus and Adonis in a Landscape with Cupid by Their Side."

The exact date of creation for this particular painting is not universally agreed upon, but it is generally attributed to the early 17th century, a period during which Wtewael produced several works on mythological themes. The painting is part of a larger body of work that reflects the artist's fascination with classical mythology and his skill in translating these ancient stories into visually compelling narratives.

As with many of Wtewael's paintings, "Venus and Adonis in a Landscape with Cupid by Their Side" would have been intended for a wealthy and erudite clientele, who would appreciate both the classical subject matter and the painterly quality of the work. Today, the painting is recognized for its art historical significance and is studied for its contribution to the Northern Mannerist tradition, as well as for its place within the broader context of European painting of the period.
