Object history
Citing Bartsch, Pollet argues that this series was probably inspired by one engraved in 1526 by Caraglio after Rosso and titled Les Divinités de la Fable. See Christophe Pollet, Les Gravures d'Etienne Delaune (1518-1583) (Villeneuve d'Ascq: Presses universitaires du Septentrion, 2001), vol. II, pp. 693-4, for further discussion and bibliography.
