A. Gere, <i>Taddeo</i> <i>Zuccaro</i>. <i>His development studied in his drawings</i>, 1969, p. 116 and p. 169, no. 114\r\n\r\nUnder the item h. 37 in the copy of Resta’s commentary the drawing is attributed to Taddeo Zuccaro and rightly with the Farnese Palace at Caprarola, where the correspondiong picture is in the Sala di Aurora. The name of the goddess is also given, but illegibly, and Resta describes her as ‘Dea Vaticina’. Annibale Caro was the author of the iconographical plan of the decorations, and his instructions to Taddeo Zuccaro are quoted <i>in</i> <i>extenso</i> in Vasari’s life of the latter (Milanesi’s edition, 7, pp. 126-27). The goddess in the tondo is described as ‘Brinto Dea de Vaticinij &amp; interpretante de sogni’, and Caro wishes her to be represented as a Sybil seated at the foot of an elm tree. Her name is really Brizo and she was a prophetic goddess on the island of Delos, who sent dreams to men and revealed their meaning. The paintings were probably designed by Taddeo Zuccaro, but mostly carried out by Federico after Taddeo’s death. Gere ascribes our drawing and its companion (no. 419) to Federico, rather than Taddeo. There was another copy of the tondo showing Brizo in the collection of tha later Mr John Brophy, London.
