The original painting is now in the Louve, Paris. In 1536 it was owned by Count Nicola Maffei, a close relative of Federico Gonzaga, and was hung as a pedant (pair) with 'Venus with Mercury and Cupid' ('The School of Love'), now in the National Gallery, London. The representations of heavenly and earthly love were hung together. They were both subsequently owned by the Gonzagas in Mantua and Charles I.
