Workshop of Giuseppe Cesari, called Cavaliere d'Arpino

This pair of roundels originally comprised a quartet of paintings that together depicted the Four Seasons as personified by the classical gods. The production of Bacchus and Flora was almost certainly a collaborative endeavor: a highly-skilled still life specialist painted the fruit and flowers of the framing garlands and another painter, probably a member of Cavaliere d'Arpino's workshop in Rome, executed the carefully modeled faces.
