Description

The Origin of the Milky Way is a painting created by Peter Paul Rubens between 1636 and 1637. It depicts the ancient Greek myth of how the goddess of love, Aphrodite, was born out of the sea foam. In the painting, Aphrodite is shown rising from the waves on a shell, with the gods Zeus and Hermes watching her from above. The creation of the Milky Way is also alluded to in the background, as it is believed to be formed from the spilled milk of Hera, the goddess of marriage, when she was throwing a tantrum about Aphrodite's birth. The painting is a masterpiece showcasing Rubens' skill in capturing movement and emotion, as well as his interest in classical mythology.
