This painting's second-named title figure has perhaps the most famous foot in all of art, as Terry Gilliam used it to end the opening credits of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
This painting's second-named title figure has perhaps the most famous foot in all of art, as Terry Gilliam used it to end the opening credits of Monty Python's Flying Circus. An allegorical painting, it was a gift from Cosimo de'Medici to Francis I of France. Two masks lie near the lower right, under a putto holding rose petals, identified as the third title figure, who stands below the forth title figure and in front of a creature with the head and hands of a girl, serpent's tail, and lion's legs, who profers a honeycomb and may be Fraud. For 10 points, name this Bronzino work featuring the Goddess of love being fondled by her son while the other two title figures look on.
