Venus at Vulcan’s Forge The painting that I chose to write about is Francois Boucher’s Venus at Vulcan’s Forge. This painting is a collection of four paintings completed for Jean-Francois Bergeret de Frouville. Boucher painted this particular painting in 1769. In the painting Venus is seen presenting her mortal son Aeneas and she wants Vulcan to make a sword for her son. The center of the painting is Venus floating on a cloud with Aeneas while Vulcan is off to the side to the left. Behind Vulcan to the left you can see the tools that Vulcan used to make the armor. On the bottom of the painting below Venus you can see an attendant bringing the helmet and clothes for Vulcan to give
