Seven planetary gods Venus presiding over the realm of love PK-P-110.470, PK-P-127.363

A central statue-like figure of Venus holding a flaming heart stands over a landscape populated by lovers, musicians, and people playing courtly games. In the sky, medallions contain a bull and a pair of scales, representing the zodiac signs Taurus and Libra which Venus rules. The foreground is dominated by an elegantly dressed couple in a passionate embrace, illustrating the terrestrial effects of the planet's power.

This print belongs to the 'Planetary Children' genre, which visualizes the Renaissance astrological belief that the seven classical planets dictate human character and social order. It reflects the Neoplatonic idea of celestial influx, where the qualities of a planet are mirrored in the professions and behaviors of the people born under its transition.
