art-mirrors-art:Martin Schaffner - Tabletop for Erasmus Stedelin (1533), and detail with Prudence representing Venus. The artwork depicts seven planets represented in the center as the ancient gods in chariots, and as their earthly and symbolic correspondences, which are presented as allegorical female figures with diverse attributes (colors, liberal arts, metals, Weekdays and virtues), explained on the signature bands. -- source link
