From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Painting by Peter Paul Rubens
Venus, Cupid, Bacchus, and Ceres is a painting that was completed by Peter Paul Rubens between 1612–1613. It is a depiction of four figures from Roman Mythology. The painting is currently residing at the Staatliche Museen in Berlin.[1]
The painting was inspired from the phrase "without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus would freeze" and was completed after his 8 year tenure at Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga of Mantua' court in northern italy, which gave him a familiarity with Roman mythological themes.[2]
