The scene depicted is the story of Venus and Mars as told by Ovid in Metamorphoses and also by Homer in the Odyssey. Venus fell in love with Mars, the god of war, and upon discovering her infidelity Vulcan used an unbreakable to ensnare the couple and called upon Apollo, Mercury, Neptune and others to witness the shameful spectacle.

A dish painted with the same subject, formerly in the Ferdinand Adda Collection, and bearing very similar elements in its composition to the present lot, is illustrated by Bernard Rackham, Islamic Pottery and Italian Maiolica, London, 1959, no. 447.
