    Botticelli had more of a sense of humor, or rather, irony

    Do you know, for comparison's sake, if we can find a picture of Cosimo's version online?

    PS: regarding the cherubs, it's true that if you go into a shop in Firenze that sells souvenirs for tourists, you are sure to have at least one corner full of those cherubs orning a seemingly infinite range of items. Haven't been back to Firenze in a while, but at least it's how it used to be not so long ago....
