Toscano 15x17 an allegory with venus and cupid nr, DA1691

This item is non-returnable unless damaged.

In this rich allegory, Cupid kisses Venus while Pleasure, Play, Love, Fraud and Jealousy all hover nearby. A gift for King Francis I of France from Cosimo I de Medici, ruler of Florence, this painting displays the ambivalence, eroticism and obscure imagery characteristic of the Mannerist period. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding. Small: 15.25"Wx17.25"H framed (7"Wx9"H image size, 4.375"W frame), 4 lbs.
