Venus, Cupid and Satyr
by BRONZINO, Agnolo, Oil on panel, 135 x 231 cm
In the 1550s, Bronzino’s mythological themes were developed in two further allegories of Venus: Venus, Cupid and Envy (c. 1550; Sz�pmuv�szeti M�zeum, Budapest), which is a simplified and less subtle variant on the Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time of 1544–45 (National Gallery, London), and Venus, Cupid, and a Satyr (c. 1555; Venus’s drapery added later; Galleria Colonna, Rome), painted for Alamanno Salviati.
