Design for a group of sculptures depicting the story of Venus and Adonis, to be placed on top of the small cascade of one of six fountains in the gardens of the Palazzo Reale or "Reggia" di Caserta. The design shows a river landscape with nymphs and playing cupids or putti. In the center Venus and Adonis are depicted. Above their heads, a cupid aims his bow and arrow at the young man. The seated Venus grabs her lover by the arm, in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Adonis from departing on his fateful last hunt. The design shows similarities, but was not the exact model for the sculpture group that was executed in marble between 1783 and 1788 by the Neapolitan sculptor Gaetano Salomone (active in Italy, 2nd half of the 18th century).Free picture Design for the Fontana di Venere e Adone, Reggia di Caserta, Naples integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
