EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture titled "Cupid, 1817" by Antoine Denis Chaudet. Standing at a height of 80 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this neo-classical artwork, Cupid is depicted as a young boy with delicate curls and angelic wings. Kneeling on a plinth adorned with a relief of mischievous putti disturbing a bee-hive, he cunningly traps a butterfly between his fingers. The artist skillfully captures the innocence and playfulness of youth while symbolizing love's ability to capture fleeting moments. The nudity of Cupid adds an element of vulnerability to the piece, emphasizing his purity and lack of worldly inhibitions. This portrayal evokes both admiration for his beauty and tenderness for his childlike nature. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured by Peter Willi, we are transported into the realm of classical mythology where love reigns supreme. The attention to detail in every curve and contour highlights Chaudet's mastery as a sculptor. This timeless work transcends time and space, reminding us that love knows no boundaries or limitations. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world filled with complexities, there is still room for innocent affection and heartfelt connections.
