About this work
Aeneas receives new armor through the intercession of Venus in the forge of Vulcanus. In the middle the hero kneels before the goddess. A Cupid hands him the helmet, in the front lie the other parts of the armor. Putti tumble through the air, one with a laurel wreath. To the left four smiths work above a fire. Part of a group of five works made for the house at Nieuwegracht 6 in Utrecht.
