Sleeping Venus

Sleeping Venus (also known as Sleeping Venus with Putti) is a painting created c. 1603 by the Italian artist Annibale Carracci, now in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, Oise, France. This oil painting measures 190 x 328 cm. The painting depicts Venus sleeping with her arm above her head as putti frolic around her. Carracci painted Sleeping Venus for Odoardo Farnese. Giovanni Battista Agucchi wrote an ekphrasis of this painting that Carlo Cesare Malvasia included in his book Life of the Carracci. In The Lives of the Modern Painters, Sculptors and Architects, Giovanni Pietro Bellori wrote a description of the painting that paraphrases Agucchi's ekphrasis without citation.
