. By dividing the performance on the front of this impeller as it were in three, an ingenious manner has been made a number of scenes from the Odysseee of Homer (approx. 800? -Ca. 750 BC.)

On the right a landscape, probably iThaka presenting. The choice of the subject is exceptional, since in the 17th and 18th centuries in the Netherlands there was only little interest for the Odyssee and the Anatal Images as a result. (Cf. G. Lairesse, Odysseus and Calypso, 1682, Rijksmuseum, Inv. A211) The central representation on the leaves at the rear is derived from the work of the very popular Ovid, very popular at the beginning of the 18th century (43 v. CHR. 18 ). It is a scene from his Fasti where Zephyrrius, the God of the Westwind, take a flower wreath above flora, the goddess of the flowers. Drinks an arcadic landscape in the trant of the Dutch painter Isaac de Moucheron (1667-1744) and on the right a forest landscape. The story of Flora and Zephyrrius will probably have been a well-known and honored theme; In 1699, the painter Philip Tideman (1657-1705) wrote a notebook in 1699 on an assignment to painting a range, which would be given by 'a lover' to its 'loved virgin'. This impellet may also have been a gift from a lover to his lover. It is striking that in both cases was chosen flora and zephyrrius on the back (so the visual side for the woman). The leaf at the front and at the back is not painted by the same hand. The Connection
