    It seems the artist Bellini had a sense of humour, as well as sensuality. This beautiful picture is a rather whimsical view of his idea of the gods and their appearances and behaviours, as well, there's an article about the painting and portrayal of those gods.

    It's like looking at a portrait of a dysfunctional family, in all it's beauty.
