The provocative tone of the picture speaks to the growing popularity of eroticism in European art at the time, owing in part to the rediscovery of ancient texts. Lotto likely took inspiration from ancient Roman poetry that describes Cupid waking Venus so that she may preside over a wedding. Her crown, veil, and pearl earring are all items commonly worn by brides in sixteenth-century Venice, indicating that this was probably painted to commemorate a marriage. Venus’s distinctive features suggest that it may be a portrait of the bride.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/436918\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Venus and Cupid\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lorenzo Lotto","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887927632115,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (36 3\/8\" x 43 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887927664883,"sku":null,"price":2554.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (16 1\/4\" x 19 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887927697651,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (20\" x 24 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887927730419,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (24 3\/8\" x 29 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887927763187,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (31 1\/2\" x 38\")","offer_id":49887927795955,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (37 7\/8\" x 45 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887927828723,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (44 5\/8\" x 53 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887927861491,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (53 1\/2\" x 64 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887927894259,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/VenusandCupid.jpg?v=1783626493","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/venus-and-cupid","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
