A contemporary picture in the Dr Anton C.R. Dreesmann collection by Joachim Wtewael (Utrecht 1566-1638), Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus (Christie's, London, 11 April 2002, lot 575) also incorporates figures of Venus, Ceres, Bacchus and Cupid. The theme was a popular one, particularly in Northern European art, at this period and was drawn from a quotation from Eunuchus (v.732) written by the Roman comic writer Terence (Publius Terentius Afer, 193/83-159 BC). It implied that Love - personified by Venus - could not thrive without the stimulli of feasting - represented by Ceres, Goddes of Agriculture - and wine by Bacchus, God of Wine.
