Sculpture of the dying Adonis
This statue of the mythological Greek hunter is attributed to Vincenzo de' Rossi (1525-1587), a pupil of Michelangelo. In Ovid's first-century AD telling of the myth, Adonis, the son of Cinyras and Myrrha, was the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite. One day, Adonis was gored by a wild boar during a hunting trip and when he died in Aphrodite's arms as she wept tears of sorrow, she poured nectar over his blood and the anemone flower emerged. The central idea of the myth is his death and resurrection, which represents the decay of nature every winter and its revival in spring. The myth of Adonis is associated with the festival of the Adonia which was celebrated by Greek women every year in midsummer.
