"Venus Frigida" (Frozen Venus) is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, dated to 1614. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Venus, traditionally associated with love and beauty, in a desolate winter landscape, conveying a sense of coldness and abandonment that contrasts sharply with her usual warm and sensual representations. This allegorical painting is rich in symbolic elements and reflects Rubens' mastery in portraying the human figure, as well as his ability to convey complex emotional states and themes through his work.

The painting measures 145.1 cm by 185.4 cm and is currently housed in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. "Venus Frigida" is considered a significant example of Rubens' early work, showcasing his skillful use of color and composition to evoke mood and narrative. The work is also noted for its classical references and the influence of Rubens' Italian sojourn, where he was deeply inspired by ancient sculpture and Renaissance masters.

In "Venus Frigida," Rubens presents Venus shivering in the cold, accompanied by a putto and a dog, both also showing signs of suffering from the frigid environment. The goddess clutches a fur cloak around her, seeking warmth, while the landscape around her is barren and covered with snow, emphasizing her vulnerability and isolation. The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on the theme that without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus would freeze, suggesting that love requires the sustenance of food and wine to flourish.

Rubens' ability to blend classical themes with his own innovative style is evident in this work, making "Venus Frigida" a notable piece in the study of Baroque art and an important part of Rubens' oeuvre. The painting continues to be the subject of scholarly interest and is admired for its technical brilliance and evocative power.
