Venere nuda distesa con Mercurio e Cupido sullo sfondo del paesaggio , (Reclining Nude Venus with Hermes and Cupid in a Landscape) (D. 147.3, F. Z. 42868), an early copy possibly 16th century, unsigned, oil on canvas, 42-1/2 x 68 in., (108 x 173 cm.); modern gilt wood frame
Provenance: Galleria Salocchi, Florence, Italy; Private Collection, Vienna, Austria; Dr. Leslie Cook, Curator National Gallery of Art, purchased, Paris, France; Collection of a Virginia Gentleman
Note: Lambert Sustris was a workshop assistant to Titian (Tiziano Vecellio, circa 1488-1576) in Venice . The Fondazione Zeri retains a photograph of this painting that is inscribed verso by Federico Zeri (1921-1998). The translation from Italian reads, "L. Sustris (or copy?)/ ex Salocchi." The Fondazione Zeri confirmed that Zeri believed this painting to have an attribution to Sustris but questioned whether or not it might be a copy. Andrea Donati, who illustrates the painting in his catalog on the works of Paris Bordone, seems to recommend the work as a copy. It is worth the note that the work appears to be of the period or near period but with experts agreeing it is likely a copy.

MOCHE IV POLYCHROME STIRRUP - EROTICMOCHE IV POLYCHROME STIRRUP - EROTIC COUPLE, EX-ARTEPre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase IV, ca. 500 to 700 CE. Bow chicka wow wow! A steamy pottery stirrup vessel depicting a couple in the erotic act of copulation. The Moche created erotic huacos throughout their 800-year period, resulting in the longest unbroken erotic ceramics tradition in the world, truly unique in the history of mankind. In addition to sexual acts, the Moche used pottery to represent depictions of hermaphroditism and androgyny as well as venereal disease and health conditions such as hemorrhoids. Yes, perhaps this is a bit more information than you wish to hear. However, the Moche deemed it important to record and teach about all aspects of their lives through their art. Due to the level of explicitness of these vessels, as seen in this example, scholars have suggested that this level of explicitness was intended to be didactic rather than solely titillating.
