Ring with Cupid Chasing a Butterfly

18th century

“This ring uses naturally occurring color variations in a slice of agate to create a miniature relief of Cupid chasing a butterfly, which represents the human soul. Other neoclassical artists also represented this theme, perhaps most famously the marble by Antoine-Denis Chaudet, which is in the Louvre in Paris. The cameo is set in a pierced gold ring.”

The Appeal

[madeleineengland]

This seventeenth-century Palazzetto Bru Zane, located in Venice, was originally a place for entertainment, especially for listening music.

This is where Mozart is presumed to have played during his stay in Venice (Carnival, 1771).

Bearing the name of its original owners, the Zane family, was built between 1695 and 1697 and it was designed by the architect Antonio Gaspari.
