"Venus and Adonis" is a painting by the Flemish artist Maarten de Vos, created in the late 16th century during the Northern Mannerist period. The artwork depicts the mythological story of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and Adonis, a mortal youth, which is a subject drawn from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." In the myth, Venus falls deeply in love with Adonis, a handsome young man who is an avid hunter. Despite Venus's warnings, Adonis is eventually killed by a wild boar, a tragic event that is often explored in art and literature.

Maarten de Vos (1532–1603) was a prominent figure in the Antwerp art scene, and his works are known for their intricate detail, vivid coloration, and the blending of Italian Renaissance influences with Northern European traditions. "Venus and Adonis" is a testament to de Vos's skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through visual means. The painting is characterized by its dynamic figures, elaborate costumes, and the detailed rendering of both the natural and the divine.

The painting captures a moment of tender interaction between the divine and the mortal, with Venus often depicted in an attempt to dissuade Adonis from his fateful hunting expedition. The emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by the contrast between Venus's concern and Adonis's youthful confidence. De Vos's treatment of the subject matter reflects the humanist interests of the time, where classical themes were revisited with a contemporary eye.

"Venus and Adonis" by Maarten de Vos is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and serves as a significant example of Northern Mannerism. It contributes to the understanding of mythological themes in Renaissance art and offers insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and the Low Countries during the period. The painting is held in various collections and has been the subject of art historical study, reflecting its enduring appeal and relevance in the history of European art.
