"Triomferende, geblinddoekte Cupido (Omnia vincit Amor)" is an engraving by Swiss artist Jean-Michel Liotard, created in 1743. The artwork depicts a winged cherub, Cupid, blindfolded and triumphantly standing atop a globe, holding a torch and an arrow. The composition is framed within an oval and a square, giving the piece a sense of classical symmetry. The engraving highlights the power and universality of love, a timeless theme, as indicated by the Latin phrase "Omnia vincit Amor" ("Love conquers all") inscribed below the image. Liotard's skillful rendering of details and masterful use of light and shadow contribute to the visual appeal of this classic engraving.
