About this work

This painting, titled Venus in the Forge of Vulcan and attributed to Jan Brueghel the Younger, shows a nude Venus in a red drape beside Vulcan at his anvil, with a small winged Cupid at her side. In the foreground, a dense gathering of birds including a peacock and an ostrich surrounds a heap of armor, helmets, and tools, while workers labor in a vaulted hall beyond and a wooded landscape opens to the left.
