Notes

Français : Cette allégorie complexe de l'amour terrestre avait probablement pour pendant l’Éducation de l'Amour de la National Gallery de Londres, qui représenterait en revanche l'amour céleste. Peints vers 1524 - 1527, peut-être pour le comte Nicola Maffei, proche de Federico Gonzaga, chez qui ils se trouvaient dès 1536.
