Andrea De Lione (1610-1685) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period who was active in his native city, Naples, Italy. He was a pupil of Belisario Corenzio (1558-1646?), a Greek-Italian painter active both in Venice and Naples. Andrea de Lione left Naples in 1647 to move to Rome, where between 1648 and 1660 he produced some of his masterpieces. During his stay in Rome, the painter came into contact with artists such as Nicola Poussin (1594-1665), Sébastien Bourdon (1616-1671) and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (1609-1664). In a landscape, populated by classical ruins, are depicted Venus, the goddess of love, and Adonis, an extremely handsome young man. Venus is attempting to seduce the young man, who is not interested in love but would rather go hunting. “Venus and Adonis” is a narrative poem by William Shakespeare written in 1593 which tells the story depicted in the painting. It’s the story of Venus’ unrequited love.
