Title:
Gardens of Love in Venetian Painting of the Quattrocento [The author reconstructs and interprets a set of Venetian paintings concerned with a garden of love. The imagery is related to both literary and biblical texts. Among them are pictures and texts about Helen of Troy. The paintings provide fragmentary evidence of lay tastes for images related to love and lovers. Title note supplied by Feminae.]
