Venus and Adonis (2024)Oil painting by Yuriy Matrosov

"Venus and Adonis" is a striking oil painting that merges the charm of classical mythology with a peaceful natural setting. Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, is portrayed sitting under a tree, enjoying music through modern headphones. Her eyes are closed, and a serene smile graces her face, highlighting her timeless beauty in a moment of solitude. Behind her, Adonis, a figure of youth and vitality, is about to take a bath in a nearby pond, adding a subtle sense of movement to the scene. The tranquil atmosphere of nature, combined with the goddess’s modern detail, creates a captivating blend of the ancient and contemporary.
