Allegory of Carnal Love, c. 1530. Creator: Cristofano Robetta (Italian, 1462-after 1534)
Allegory of Carnal Love, c. 1530. Trained as a goldsmith in Florence, Robetta also made engravings, primarily of biblical and mythological narratives. Perhaps an allegory involving themes of physical love, fertility, and mortality, the message of this frieze-like scene is not clear. Cupid, the only easily identified mythical figure, binds the central mans arm to a tree, suggesting he is loves captive. Long sashes of cloth entangle the groups of men and women, including the androgynous figure on the far left. The children suggest the fertility of life, although one boy steps on a skull, a reminder of the inevitability of death
