Venus Blindfolding Cupid
by PADOVANINO, Oil on canvas, 118 x 182 cm
The present work is a fine copy by Padovanino after a famous picture by Titian, painted in 1565 and now in the Galleria Borghese, Rome. It was probably executed during Padovanino’s second visit to Rome, when he would have been able to see Titian’s original in the Borghese Gallery.
