Cupido 1769

"Cupido" is a 1769 etching by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, depicting the Roman god of love, Cupid. The winged child, Cupid, sits on a cloud holding an arrow and bow, symbols of his power. The dove at his feet is an emblem of peace, perhaps implying the harmonious nature of love. Clemens’s intricate engraving style showcases detailed textures and a sense of depth, typical of the late Baroque period. The artwork is housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
