Allegory of the Power of Venus
Jan de Bisschop, 1638 - 1671
No one is safe from Cupid’s love arrows; not a king, nor a knight, nor an old man. His mother Venus, to the right of centre, spurs him on. De Bisschop copied a painting by Alessandro Turchi, an artist from Verona, which in his time must have been in the possession of a Dutch collector. The picture is now in the Mauritshuis in The Hague.
