Venus, goddess of
love, surveys the
action. Beside her
stands a myrtle, the
tree sacred to her.Flora, goddess of spring, is
covered with flowers and
scatters roses. She is the
product of Chloris’s union
with Zephyr.
Zephyrus, the west wind
who heralds spring,
swoops down to seize
the nymph Chloris.Cupid, blindfolded and
representing erotic love,
flies among the trees and
over his mother Venus while
aiming an arrow at a target.Chloris, a wild and free
nymph, tries to flee
from Zephyr, but he has
caught her in his grasp.
