GIROLAMO DA TREVISO the Younger
(b. ca. 1497, Treviso, d. 1544, Boulogne-sur-Mer)

Sleeping Venus

c. 1523
Oil on canvas, 130 x 213 cm
Galleria Borghese, Rome

This painting was for a long time considered to be the work of Girolamo Savoldo. However, the attribution to Girolamo Treviso is now unanimously accepted. The subject is clearly influenced by Giorgione's Venus, completed by Titian (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden) but the figure presents a still 15-century linearity.
