Venus, Cupid and Ceres

Artist: Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem (Dutch, 1562–1638)

Date: 1604

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

A newly discovered work by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem, this colorful painting interprets the ancient witticism, “Without food and drink, love grows cold.” Venus, Roman goddess of love, is joined by Cupid and Ceres, goddess of grain; Bacchus, god of wine, is present symbolically through the grapes. The supple, translucent flesh demonstrates the interest in naturalism that blossomed in Northern Europe in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, which led artists to work increasingly “from life,” that is, from observation of models.

Celebrating my return to fanfic writing on my sideblog @st-armand by announcing my Sylus/Rafayel/Non-MC!Reader fic inspired by @/obligated_art on X illustrations of Rafayel with Sylus....

It was also inspired by the enabling of Charli XCX's coke use and kinda a deepdive on party drugs, coping mechanisms, and addiction.

I'm basically gunna spend my spring break fleshing out the dynamics, locations, and other story specific parts before actually writing the first few chapters
