Venus With Mercury And Cupid ('The School Of Love')
''Venus with Mercury and Cupid'', ''The School of Love'' or ''The Education of Cupid'' is a c. 1525 painting by the Italian painter Correggio, now in the National Gallery. History A preparatory sketch for it survives in the British Museum. ''Venus and Cupid with a Satyr'' (now in the Louvre) seems to be its pendant - that painting is larger but ''Venus with Mercury and Cupid'' may have been cut down later. They were probably commissioned by Nicola Maffei (c.1487-1536) and the early fame of ''Venus with Mercury and Cupid'' is attested by a copy made by Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli. However, the first written reference to the two paintings is in 1627, by which time they were in the Gonzaga collection in Mantua (the Maffeis were closely linked to the Gonzagas).
