Vulcan Building a Fence Around the Mount of Venus late 15th century Circle of Giovanni Bellini Italian Perched upon a rocky mount, Venus and her son Cupid are accompanied by attendants. Below, Venuss husband Vulcan (god of fire and metalworking) builds a fence around them amid putti, rabbits, and a peacock, all symbols of love and fertility. The god of spring wind, Zephyrus, blows flowers on the goddess. The bull in the upper left symbolizes the zodiacal sign of Taurus that governs the month of April along with Venus. This allegory of April may have been a preparatory design for a lost series of paintings depicting the twelve months; it closely recalls a fresco cycle of this type in Ferrara (Palazzo Schifanoia) by Francesco Cossa. The drawing has been attributed to a follower of Cossa or an artist in the circle of the Venetian master Giovanni Bellini.. Vulcan Building a Fence Around the Mount of Venus 459417
