Description

Venus and Mercury, the goddess of Beauty and the Protector of the Arts, watch over two wrestling putti, Eros (spiritual love), and the goat-legged Anteros (sexual love). The lute, palette, musical score and caduceus (symbol of eloquence) beside Mercury confirm the reading of this scene as the victory of the higher, spiritual satisfactions over earthly gratifications. In the eighteenth century this painting was cut into pieces: the Dulwich picture is the right-hand section of the original canvas; the other major fragment, depicting five music-making putti, is in the Louvre, Paris.
