The subject matter is taken from Philostratus (Eikones I,6) who describes the games of cupids throughout the four seasons: throwing apples in spring, the fiery furnace of summer, Venus and Adonis taking their farewell in autumn and sleep in winter. Author: ALBANI, Francesco Title: Winter , 1601-1650 , Italian Form: painting , mythological
