Girolamo di Benvenuto
Venus and Cupid, first quarter of the 16th century, tempera on panel

The work, purchased in 1907, is linked to a wedding, for the presence of joined family armorial bearings and, more in general for the narrated story, where Venus symbolizes the love which overcomes the war, symbolized by the weapons of Mars crushed under the naked bodies of Cupid and his mother.
