LITERATURE:<\/p>\n

B\u00e9guin and Pressouyre, 1972, 140.<\/p>\n

Boorsch, 1988, 9, Fig. 4, as by Master I.\u2640.V.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9guin, 1989, 835, 836, Fig. 32 (Paris), 837, as by Master I.\u2640.V.<\/p>\n

Boorsch, in French Renaissance<\/em>, 1994, 229-231, no. 33, Fig. (Paris, Ba 12, Vol. 1), as by Master I.\u2640.V., the naked youth inside Venus\u2019s chariot identified as probably Cupid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This etching is related, in reverse, to the stucco relief beneath the Enlightenment of Francis I<\/em> in the Gallery of Francis I.\u00a0 However, the print is much too detailed to have been derived from that relief.\u00a0 But in its details, such as the hair and the musculature of the male figures, it is very much in Rosso\u2019s style.\u00a0 In spite of a certain awkwardness in the description of the figure of Venus, the etching appears based on a lost drawing by Rosso.\u00a0 The etcher has undoubtedly added what appears outside the shell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
