EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture "Cupid" created by Etienne-Maurice Falconet in the late 18th century. Crafted from soft-paste bisque, this delicate artwork stands at a height of 30.5 cm and is housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The image captures the essence of Cupid, a mythological figure known for his association with love and desire. With his iconic wings spread wide, he exudes an air of enchantment and mischief. This portrayal reflects the artist's mastery in capturing both the beauty and complexity of this mythical character. Falconet's creation pays homage to ancient pagan mythology, where Cupid was revered as Eros - the god of love. The sculpture serves as a reminder of Europe's rich religious history and its polytheistic beliefs during that era. The French sculptor's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour, making this piece an exceptional example of artistry from that time period. The seated pose adds depth to Cupid's expression, inviting viewers to ponder upon matters related to love, passion, and human emotions. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the skillful craftsmanship that has stood the test of centuries. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for understanding matters beyond what meets the eye.
