"Venere e Adone" is a Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Prospero Fontana (1512–1597), a prominent painter of the Bolognese School. The work depicts the mythological story of Venus (Venere in Italian) and Adonis (Adone), a tale that has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, illustrating the tragic love story between the goddess of love and the mortal Adonis, as recounted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses."

Prospero Fontana, who was born in Bologna and trained under Innocenzo da Imola, became a leading figure in the Bolognese School of painting. His style is characterized by its Mannerist qualities, which include complex compositions, elongated figures, and a sophisticated use of color and light. Fontana's work was influential in the development of later Bolognese artists, including his own daughter, Lavinia Fontana, who became one of the most important female artists of the time.

In "Venere e Adone," Fontana captures the moment of tender yet doomed affection between the two characters. Venus, often depicted with the attributes of beauty and love, is shown in a moment of vulnerability as she attempts to dissuade Adonis from going on a hunt that would ultimately lead to his death. The painting is notable for its emotional intensity and the dynamic interplay between the figures, which reflects the Mannerist interest in expressing complex psychological states through art.

The exact date of "Venere e Adone" is not well-documented, and the painting's provenance has been a subject of art historical research. As with many works of the period, the painting's history can shed light on the cultural and artistic milieu of the time, as well as on the patronage and collection practices of the era.

"Venere e Adone" by Prospero Fontana remains an important example of 16th-century Italian painting, offering insight into the Mannerist style and the enduring appeal of classical mythology in the visual arts. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of Fontana's significant contribution to the Bolognese School.
