About this work
Landscape with Venus accompanied by Amor. Venus holds a burning heart. In the background a festive company. In the margin a two-line caption in Latin referring to the saying 'Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus'. That is to say that love freezes without wine and merriment. Print from a series of three with Bacchus, Venus and Ceres.
