Description
English: Label text: "In a lush landscape, Venus, Roman goddess of love and beauty, is attended by her handmaidens, the Three Graces, while Mars, the god of war, looks on admiringly. Cupids encourage his amorous attention, and two satyrs—lusty male forest deities—spy on the couple (look carefully for them peering from the bushes). The figures are inspired by Poussin’s study of ancient classical sculpture. The theme is derived from classical literature, which describes Mars as “disarmed” or “unmanned” by Venus—a symbol of love’s power to vanquish war. To illustrate this idea, Poussin shows Mars’s sword, spear, and helmet cast aside, while Venus uses his shield as a mirror." [1]

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
