The Rokeby Venus, an enchanting masterpiece by Diego Velázquez, stands as a testament to the artist's genius during the Spanish Golden Age. Painted between 1647 and 1651, this captivating artwork portrays the Roman goddess Venus in a sensuous pose, reclining on a bed and gazing into a mirror held by her son Cupid. What sets this painting apart are its distinctive elements, including the prominent use of a mirror and Venus turned away from the viewer, challenging traditional depictions of the goddess. With its rarity as the only surviving female nude by Velázquez in seventeenth-century Spanish art, The Rokeby Venus holds profound significance.
