<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 9728558, member: 17332&quot;]Here&#039;s a cameo that&#039;s coming up for auction. I have never seen this subject before, plus it is signed by our friend, J. Mouhe. It would be nice to add to a collection..... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I think it is lovely, especially the horse.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/auktionshaus-wendl/catalogue-id-wendl10031/lot-356ff42c-f436-4b33-b285-b10a00f489b5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/auktionshaus-wendl/catalogue-id-wendl10031/lot-356ff42c-f436-4b33-b285-b10a00f489b5" rel="nofollow">https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/auktionshaus-wendl/catalogue-id-wendl10031/lot-356ff42c-f436-4b33-b285-b10a00f489b5</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The subject is Saturn (in horse form) and Philyra. Saturn was cavorting with the nymph Philyra. When his wife Rhea came around, he transformed himself into a horse to escape detection. The resultant child from the union was the centaur Chiron. I have attached an engraving from the 1500s, similar to Rosso Fiorentino&#039;s engraving (1495-1540).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]473199[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]473200[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]473198[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
