12 nov 1546 - Bronzino
Description:
About 1546, Bronzino was commissioned to create a painting that has come to be known as Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time.It displays the ambivalence, eroticism, and obscure imagery that are characteristic of the Mannerist period, and of Bronzino's master Pontormo.
The erotic imagery would have appealed to the tastes prevalent in both the Medici and French courts at this time. The attention to texture and wealth is also consistent with Bronzino's aristocratic patronage
