My interpretation of the character “deception” out of the marvelous painting “Bronzino’s Allegory with Venus and Cupid”. - “on the surface a harmless, good-looking child who in reality hides a horrifying nature. Her hands are reversed, and this element also causes an effect of estrangement: one carries a honeycomb of honey, a symbol of the sweetness of love, while the other carries a poisonous animal, an allusion to the pain that love can cause. Another, less credited, hypothesis identifies the strange creature as Pleasure, which has a dual nature in that it causes joys symbolized by honey and a girl’s face and pains symbolized instead by the snake and monster body. She has a gorgeous face, but the body of a serpent, legs of lion, and a scorpion’s tail...”
