Correggio's 'The School of Love' ( Venus with Mercury and Cupid ).

            Copy - Watercolour / gouache.

.....Antonio da Correggio ( 1489 - 1534 ) was the foremost painter of the Parma school of 
the Italian renaissance.
..........He handles the subject with characteristic naturalism and tenderness.
.....The scene is in a forest with Mercury (to right) acting as schoolmaster to the young Cupid, accompanied by his mother Venus.
..........Mercury (lacking his winged helmet) looks tenderly down towards Cupid while Venus, unusually shown with wings, faces more directly to the front in a decorous pose loosely based on the classical Venus Pudica (modest Venus).

.....The original is in The National Gallery - London.
........................painted 1525.
