Simon Vouet. 1627
His image represents the time lord (Saturn) being attacked by love (The cherubs), hope (Elpis) and beauty (Venus). Key elements that interact in love.
Time is attacked, almost defeated, but without intent to give up easily on a hard floor. Carries with it an hourglass and a scythe, classic symbols of time. Her gaze is defiant to his attackers.
The beauty was never welcome time. As the years pass, old age takes hold of our physical and our beautiful youth will over time. That is why Venus, which is located to the right of the box, a hand grabs him by the hair and threatens the other with a spear. Is covered with pearls and almost naked, symbols of beauty and purity.
On the left is the hope which does not fail to seize the opportunity.
Hope is a desire to lay hands of time and other factors. But if time is running out, hope it ends with him.
An interesting detail is that hope has an anchor with which threatens to Saturn, being the most appropriate symbol to represent it. To anchor the sea where only have to wait (hope) to achieve a bottom and feel safe from the waves. Always places its hopes on an anchor.
And finally, love could not miss such an adjustment accounts.
At some point we all knew a great love in precisely the wrong moment, either your life or ours. A bad time to not allow that history to flourish. Or age differences that may lead to situations of not understanding. Are phrases like "if we had known before" or "if we had the same age, living the same stage."
Weather may play a trick on the love and so the cupids, or putter, I pluck feathers from their wings and even bite you.
