About Artwork: (Probably 1634-5) "Ceres, goddess of the earth and fertility, harvests corn with a group of winged infants, known as putti. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Ceres was commonly shown crowned with a garland of corn. She was often depicted as one of the Four Elements (Earth) or one of the Four Seasons (Summer). The work was probably commissioned by Claude de Bullion (1570–1640), a government official, around 1634/5, when Vouet decorated the gallery at his Paris residence. Some parts of the composition were painted by Vouet’s studio assistants: there is a lack of finish in areas of the landscape, the two peasants cutting corn and the putti in the foreground. The figure of Ceres has been painted with more skill and is probably by Vouet himself. The area intended for the figure of Ceres was left unpainted by the assistant responsible for painting the surrounding cornfield and trees." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
