Notes This work is the first in a cycle of four episodes from the life of Venus commissioned in 1621 by Ferdinand Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, for the Villa Favorita. Albani had already painted a series on the theme of the elements for Prince Borghese some years earlier. Albani added further touches to this painting in 1633 when he was working in Florence for the Medici family, who purchased the series after Ferdinand Gonzaga's death.
