Plate with the reconciliation of Cupid and Minerva

Workshop of Maestro Giorgio Andreoli of Gubbio; painting attributed to the Painter of the Three Graces

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a scene featuring a young, winged figure reaching out to a robed woman. The round plate shows a colorful, intricate scene with a winged cherubic figure and a woman dressed in a flowing garment. The background displays a landscape with a twisted tree shape, rolling hills, and a detailed village under a sunset or dawn sky with hues of orange, blue, and pink. The style resembles the work of Renaissance artist Luca della Robbia, known for vibrant colors and intricate detailing typical of painted maiolica ware from that period.
