Getting started with the collection:
Loves of the Gods
Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio (mentioned on object), 1515 - 1565
No collection of erotic prints should be without Caraglio’s Loves of the Gods. Consisting of twenty-some prints, this scandalous series presents the amorous escapades of the classical gods fairly explicitly. The deities give in to pure lust with great abandon, which involves quite some acrobatic feats. These scenes will doubtless have titillated many a viewer.
