harold wethey was not impressed by the idea that the different elements represented different modes of life: "active" in the hunters, "voluptuous" in venus/antiope and jupiter, and "contemplative" in the couple sitting on the grass. another line of thinking is to compare venus to the stag brought down by the hounds, the stag then becoming a "cerf fragile", in an old gothic visual metaphor with the hunted stag representing the life and trials of christ or man. this draws on a wealth of imagery in religious writings, ultimately going back to "psalm 41/42": "as a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, o god..".
