# Venus, Ceres and Juno [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GIOVANNI DA UDINE]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary This detail from the vault of the Loggia shows Venus, Ceres and Juno. The appealing portrayals of animals and insects, as well as the rich garlands of fruit and vegetables were devised by Giovanni da Udine. These are so painstakingly observed that experts can identify the particular genus of each variety depicted. Among the novelties to be enjoyed by the Renaissance spectator were recently discovered species of corn, squash and beans from the New World. ## Related artworks - [Decoration of Cardinal Bibbiena's Loggetta]() - [Decoration of Cardinal Bibbiena's Loggetta]() - [Decoration of the Loggia di Raffaello \(detail\)]() - [Decoration of the Stufetta \(bathroom\) of Clement VII Stufetta]() - [Stucco Reliefs in a Pilaster]() - [Studies of Nuts]() - [Study of a Flying Sparrow]() - [Study of a Parrot and Other Birds]() - [Study of a Parrot]() - [Triumph of Bacchus \(detail\)]() - [Triumph of Bacchus]() - [View of the Loggia di Raffaello]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
