Description
When this sculpture was displayed in the Venetian palace of the Sagredo family, the subject was identified as the mythological huntsman Adonis, beloved of the goddess Venus. Its companion statue of Venus is now lost. Adonis's languid pose and highly polished flesh combine the innocently unawware and erotically tactile in a way that might charm a passing love godess. However, when Adonis is represented prone he should be dying of his wounds. Corradini seems to have used events from another myth- that of the sleeping youth Endymion whose beauty caused Diana to fall for him.
