Stufetta del cardinal Bibbiena

The Stufetta del cardinal Bibbiena ("Small Heated Room of Cardinal Bibbiena") is a small room on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican, which is decorated with a cycle of erotic frescoes painted in 1516 by Raphael (or by artists in his circle to his designs). The frescos depict mythological scenes from Ovid and Maurus Servius Honoratus, in an antique style echoing Ancient Roman interior décor of the Domus Aurea which had also inspired the decoration of the Raphael Rooms and the Vatican loggias. * Putto with snails * Venus and Adonis * Venus and Cupid with dolphins *
