EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Back view of the Manhattan Cupid" a masterpiece sculpted by none other than Michelangelo Buonarroti during the Italian Renaissance. Crafted from exquisite marble, this sculpture is believed to have been created between 1494 and 1496. The photograph captures the essence of love and innocence embodied in this winged child figure. With his delicate wings gracefully spread behind him, Cupid stands as a symbol of eternal affection and desire. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every curve and contour of his youthful torso meticulously carved. The focus on Cupid's rear view adds an intriguing perspective to this artwork. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty of his angelic face but also the sensuality conveyed through his exposed buttocks. This audacious choice reflects Michelangelo's boldness in challenging societal norms prevalent during that era. Displayed at Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this timeless piece continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its profound symbolism and artistic brilliance. The photographer Raffaello Bencini skillfully captures every nuance of light and shadow, enhancing our appreciation for both Michelangelo's genius and Bencini's own mastery behind the lens. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded that art has no boundaries – it transcends time, culture, and even language itself – leaving us forever enthralled by its power to evoke emotions within us all.
