Venus and Adonis
Partial view of Venus and Adonis (after Cornelis van Haarlem) by Isaac Seeman (fl.1739 – London 1751) in the Dining Room of Lacock Abbey. Oil on canvas. Approx. 79 x 57 inches. 1746.
This painting shows Venus trying to stop her lover Adonis from embarking on a hunting trip. She coquettishly raises her leg to tempt him back, as Cupid hovers above. Venus's fears were fulfilled when Adonis was slain by a boar. Where the earth was stained with his blood, anemones sprouted. The prominence of the parrot, which is painted with a surprising naturalism and which does not appear in the story, is unclear.
There is a complete photograph at artuk.org/discover/artworks/venus-and-adonis-100951. Without a step ladder and a very wide-angle lens (and the cooperation of the National Trust) it would be difficult to photograph the picture in situ. I know nothing of art, but this is quite arresting, despite being only a copy.
Fuji X-E1 and Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 lens.
