Venus Blindfolding Cupid by Italian 16th Century, Anonymous Artist https://www.nga.gov/artworks/41594-venus-blindfolding-cupid
Though this painting presents a mythological allegory, Venus wears a costume and jewelry closely related to the fashion of the time it was painted. The two cupids may represent Eros and Anteros, both sons of Venus, but symbols of contrasting aspects of love—the blind and sensuous, and the clear-sighted and virtuous.
