EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bernhard Strigel's masterpiece "Pair of lovers with the Devil and Cupid" from 1503. The painting, executed in grey ink and watercolor with white highlights, is housed at the Staatliche Museen in Berlin, Germany. In this intriguing artwork, we are transported to the 16th century German art scene where a couple finds themselves entangled in a web of temptation and love. The man and woman stand side by side, their expressions hinting at both desire and uncertainty. As they embrace each other, their connection is juxtaposed by the presence of two mythological figures - the Devil and Cupid. The devilish figure lurks behind them, representing temptation and allurement. His menacing gaze suggests that he seeks to corrupt their bond with his wicked ways. On the other hand, Cupid stands nearby as an allegory for love itself. With his bow drawn back ready to strike an arrow into their hearts, he symbolizes passion and affection. Strigel skillfully captures these contrasting forces within one frame; it is a visual representation of the eternal struggle between good and evil that exists within every relationship. Through this thought-provoking piece of artistry, viewers are invited to reflect on our own vulnerabilities when it comes to matters of love. It serves as a reminder that even amidst temptations or external influences like the devil himself, true love can prevail if we remain steadfast in our commitment to one another. (Photo © Fine Art
