"The Lute-playing Venus with Cupid"

Parrasio Micheli - Oil On Canvas (i) - 110 x 97 cm - (Szépmûvészeti Múzeum (Budapest, Hungary)) (i)
This genre work was executed in an antique-looking manner. It constitutes a classicistic reworking of highly conventional imagery within the genre painting repertoire. A curtain is pulled back to reveal a social gathering in which a splendidly attired female tunes her lute as a young suitor offers her a glass of wine.Suggested listening (streaming mp3, 2 minutes):Franz Schubert: An die Laute (To the Lute) D 905
