Triumph of Venus

This painting is an oil painting depicting a scene with divine beings. In the foreground is a group of figures, what appear to be sea nymphs and newts, surrounding a central female figure who may be a goddess. Perhaps it is Aphrodite standing on a shell. In the background are two flying cupids, and another female figure holding a veil. The sky is pastel blue with a hint of storm clouds on the horizon. The overall atmosphere of the work is mild and cheerful.

Italian Baroque painter Sebastiano Ricci (1659-1734) began his career with the Venetian painter Frederic Cervelli. He worked in Bologna where, for example, he painted the famous picture Diana with her Dog. He alternately adorned the frescoes of Venetian churches and chapels in Bologna with religious motives. He briefly lived in England, where he participated in the decoration of the houses of rich burghers. He worked hard and later departed from Paris a wealthy man. Although Christian themes were his main topic, he himself did not behave as a Christian. He left his wife and daughter and ran off with another woman in Venice, whom he later also left for many other love affairs.
