"Venus and Adonis Surrounded with Putti in a Landscape" is an oil painting by Balthasar Beschey, a Flemish painter who was active during the 18th century. The artwork is a mythological representation that depicts the tragic love story of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, and Adonis, a mortal youth of remarkable beauty. Beschey's interpretation of the tale is set within a pastoral landscape, a common setting for such mythological scenes in the Rococo period, which often emphasized the playful and sensual aspects of nature.

In the painting, Venus is typically shown trying to restrain Adonis from going to the hunt, as she fears for his safety. Adonis, however, is often depicted as determined to leave, unaware of his impending doom. The presence of putti, or cherubic figures, in the scene adds an element of innocence and may underscore the themes of love and desire, as well as the fleeting nature of life and beauty. The putti could also be interpreted as symbols of the couple's love or as playful observers of the unfolding drama.

Balthasar Beschey (1708–1776) was not only a painter but also an art dealer and director of the Academy of Arts in Antwerp. His works include religious compositions, portraits, landscapes, and mythological scenes. "Venus and Adonis Surrounded with Putti in a Landscape" is characteristic of Beschey's style, which was influenced by the Baroque tradition and the works of earlier Flemish masters, yet also incorporated the lighter and more decorative elements of the Rococo movement.

The painting is an example of the continued interest in classical mythology during the 18th century and reflects the tastes of the period's art patrons, who favored such romantic and idealized depictions for their private collections. As an artist, Beschey contributed to the rich tapestry of Flemish art, and his works remain of interest to scholars studying the evolution of painting styles and cultural themes in the region during the 18th century.
