A small winged Eros (Cupid) growing out of a vine – this motif was found on an ancient frieze fragment from the Farnese Gardens on the Palatine in Rome. The gardens are named after the Farnese family, who in the mid-16th century had extensive gardens laid out that would eventually span several terraces on the Palatine and were richly decorated. Today, only a small part of the complex remains.
