Carlo Maratti, 1701 - Portrait of Francesca Gommi Maratti - fine art print

Original artwork description from the museum (© Copyright - by The Cleveland Museum of Art - www.clevelandart.org)

In 1700 Carlo Maratti’s wife died, permitting him to marry his longtime mistress, Francesca Gommi, who began modeling for the artist in the 1670s and was the mother of his only child, Faustina. This painting was presumably painted shortly after the marriage as an homage from the artist to his new wife. To introduce an allegorical element into the composition, Maratti included a painting within a painting—in this case a drawing depicting Venus forging the love-darts of her adolescent son Cupid, suggesting that love will conquer all.
