"Venus and Cupid "

 

Of the countless Renaissance paintings of Venus and Cupid, few are as beautiful - and certainly none is quite so startling - as this picture. 

Venus was surrounded by symbols of fertility and conjugal fidelity. She was blessing a marriage. Venus raises a myrtle wreath with her right hand,  and Cupid urinates through it, with evident delight.  At that time, a urinating child was an augury of good fortune. 

It has been suggested that the picture was painted in 1540 for Lotto's cousin, Venus may be a portrait of the bride.
