One of my greatest pleasures is introducing my students to History Mythology, Science, Theology, Philosophy Anatomy, Style, Drawing and Colour through the medium of paintings from various centuries.
My favorite and the one l always start with is :
Allegory of Venus and Cupid by Bronzino 1540-60 National Gallery London, where l have lectured many times revealing its meaning to my Australian students.
In the end l realized l just have to have it for myself to hang in the studio.
The drawing took a week.
I expect between classes it will take a few months to paint.
Oil on canvas 90cm x 75cm.
