''Venus and Mars'' is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, believed to have been completed in the late 15th century, circa 1483. The work is a tempera on panel and measures approximately 69 cm × 173 cm. It is currently housed in the National Gallery, London. The painting depicts the Roman gods Venus, goddess of love, and Mars, god of war, in a mythological scene that is rich with allegorical meaning.

In the composition, Venus is shown watching over Mars as he sleeps, seemingly exhausted by the effects of love, or perhaps by the enchantment of Venus herself. The scene is set in a forest, and around the slumbering Mars, playful and mischievous satyrs—smaller figures associated with Bacchus, the god of wine—can be seen playing with his armor. One blows a conch shell in his ear, while others handle his lance and helmet, yet Mars remains undisturbed in his deep slumber.

The painting is notable for its exquisite detail, serene landscape, and the delicate portrayal of the figures, which reflect Botticelli's mastery of line and form. The contrast between the armored Mars and the almost ethereal Venus exemplifies the dichotomy between martial strength and the power of love. ''Venus and Mars'' is often interpreted as an illustration of the theme that love conquers all, rendering even the most formidable warrior powerless.

Art historians have suggested that the work may have been commissioned to celebrate a wedding, as was common for such mythological subjects during the Renaissance. The identities of the figures have also been the subject of scholarly debate, with some suggesting that they may represent the individuals for whom the painting was created, possibly members of the powerful Medici family, who were patrons of Botticelli.

''Venus and Mars'' is one of Botticelli's most admired works, and it continues to be studied for its iconography, historical context, and its place within the broader scope of Botticelli's artistic oeuvre. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with classical mythology during the Renaissance and the skill with which Renaissance artists like Botticelli reinterpreted ancient themes for their contemporary audiences.
