Yeah, that's what I thought. I was glad we hadn't missed them.
I really don't understand why all the tacky Florence souvenir stalls were selling them,
Well, wikipedia said "the two winged 'genii', which are visible at the bottom of the picture space and which became an independent theme in contemporary pop culture", so I think it's just that they picked the top five most famous paintings they could think of off the top of their heads, and mass-produced prints of those :)
