"Venus Arming Aeneas" is a 1639 painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. This work depicts a scene from classical mythology, where Venus, the goddess of love, is shown preparing her son Aeneas for battle. Aeneas, a Trojan hero and a central figure in both Greek mythology and Roman lore, is most famously chronicled in Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid." The painting captures the moment when Venus presents Aeneas with the armor forged by the god Vulcan, as she aids him in fulfilling his destiny to found the city of Rome.

Poussin, known for his mastery in depicting narratives from antiquity with clarity and order, employs his characteristic classical composition in this work. The painting is structured with a strong use of line and form, creating a harmonious and balanced composition that is typical of Poussin's style. The figures are rendered with sculptural solidity, and their poses reflect the influence of ancient Roman sculpture, which Poussin studied during his time in Italy.

The color palette of "Venus Arming Aeneas" is subdued yet rich, with a focus on earthy tones and the use of light to highlight the figures and their divine attributes. Venus, often associated with beauty and love, is depicted with grace and dignity, while Aeneas's heroic stature is emphasized through his posture and the depiction of his muscular form.

This painting is an example of Poussin's contributions to the classical tradition in French art and his influence on the development of the French Academy's principles of order, reason, and decorum in art. "Venus Arming Aeneas" is not only a representation of a mythological subject but also an embodiment of the artistic ideals of the 17th century.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or housed in a museum, and it continues to be studied as an important work in Poussin's oeuvre. Art historians and critics have analyzed the work for its technique, iconography, and its place within the broader context of Poussin's artistic development and the Baroque period.
