Image description

L or Lu.Ur. diameter: 25.9 cm Inscribed DE pico ET circe, marked with a stylized L and dated 1535. The subject comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, book 14. The enchantress Circe was searching for strange herbs when she saw Picus, son of Saturn, out hunting and immediately fell in love with him. She created the spectre of a boar to lure him into the woods and when he repulsed her advances turned him into a woodpecker. The design is closely derived from a woodcut in the 1497 Venetian edition of Ovid. The painting is probably by an unidentified Urbino-based follower of Francesco Xanto Avelli, who signed a number of pieces "L" and one panel in a private collection "Lu Ur", possibly an abbreviation for something like "Luca de Urbino"
