Image description

The scene is taken from an episode in Ovid’s 'Metamorphoses', in which Cupid accidently shoots his mother Venus with an arrow, causing her to fall in love with the mortal Adonis. The furious Venus then disarms her son for causing her to suffer the torments of love. Parmigianino executed at least six studies of this composition, experimenting with different positions for the figures’ arms, striving for a balance of dynamic movement and contrapposto. The pink-coloured paper provides a tonal gradation that creates a chiaroscuro effect.
