Title	Plate with Vulcan, Venus, and Cupid
Description	English: Venus, Roman goddess of love, was married to the blacksmith-god Vulcan. This plate shows him forging an arrow for Venus's son Cupid, god of love, who targets the hearts of both gods and humans. Gold-tipped arrows make them fall madly in love, while lead-tipped ones make them reject all advances. This is a fine example of Xanto Avelli's ability to compose the scene in graceful accommodation with the shape of the plate.
Date	between circa 1528 and circa 1532 date QS:P571,+1550-00-00T00:00:00Z/7,P1319,+1528-00-00T00:00:00Z/9,P1326,+1532-00-00T00:00:00Z/9,P1480,Q5727902 (Renaissance era QS:P2348,Q4692 )
