EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cupid, 1881" by Max Klinger showcases the artist's exceptional talent in etching. The piece measures 31.8x48.6 cm and is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Part of Klinger's series called "Ein Handschuh" or "A Glove" this artwork depicts a mesmerizing scene featuring Cupid, the Roman god of love. In this mythological portrayal, Cupid appears as a giant figure surrounded by delicate flowers and roses. With his iconic wings and quiver full of arrows, he exudes an aura of enchantment. Klinger's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print; from the intricate rendering of Cupid's wings to the carefully crafted botanical elements that symbolize natural history and science. The juxtaposition between the giant-sized Cupid and the miniature flowers adds a touch of whimsy to this symbolic composition. The image captures both Eros' power as a deity capable of influencing human emotions through love but also his vulnerability portrayed through delicate floral motifs surrounding him. As you admire this exquisite print, allow yourself to be transported into a world where mythology intertwines with artistry, where love reigns supreme, and where beauty flourishes amidst symbolism and imagination.
