Anonymous, 16th century
Anonymous, a sixteenth-century engraver whose name has not come down to us, belongs to the print culture of the 1530s and 1540s, when allegorical and mythological scenes were circulated widely as engravings. The two sheets held here are both engravings, pairing allegories of marriage and love with Venus and Juno in their chariots, drawn from classical myth and moralizing imagery. Dating given by the Met runs from 1530 to 1540, with impressions up to that span reflecting later printings.
