Bronzino's Exposure of Luxury, ca 1546 (N.G/.) is a moreintricate work. Time and Truth expose the erotic foreplay of
Venus and Cupid. Envy, Deceit, and Folly comment on the dis-
appointments attendent on desire. The picture makes a moral
point by means of allegory but unconscious symbolism also appears
to operate here in covert, but close, parallels to the manifest
meaning. A device common to art and the dream is that of split-
ting one figure into several: Venus, for example, attracts Cupid with
an apple (oral pleasure) but holds an arrow behind his head; De-
ceit offers a honeycomb and a scorpion in transposed hands, so
that the right hand (good) is really to the left (bad). In Venus
hair is a jewel of a woman combing her hair: she is in the pose
of Venus, but Envy claws her hair (the fingers like a comb). In
another version of this picture at Budapest Envy appears as a
Gorgon. These figures are ambiguous, deceptive versions of Venus
(Cupid's mother) and recall the 'good' and 'bad' mother of clinic-
al psycho-analysis. Melanie Klein (8) refers to 'the early split-
ting of the mother figure into a "good" and "bad" breast mother'.
Cupid covers the left ('bad') breast in an effort to efface the
frustrating side of his mother, the mother who does not always sat-
isfy his oral need. The loved and hated aspects of the mother
are exposed in a pattern of morality and incest.
