Maler des späten 17./ 18. Jahrhunderts
AMOR AWAKENS THE SLEEPING VENUS Oil on canvas. Doubled. 47.5 x 60 cm. Monogram "J O" (or F O) f(ecit.) lower right. The pictorial theme of the boy cupid waking Venus, who is asleep during the day, in order to bring love to mankind was frequently treated in Italian painting in particular, from Titian to Varotaro. The painter has drawn formally on such models. The emphasis on the colors blue, white and red may be related to the painter's national origin. (1401744) (11)
