Legende amoriner. Allegori over kærligheden 1510 - 1530

Ugo da Carpi's "Legende amoriner. Allegori over kærligheden" (c. 1510-1530) is a pen and ink drawing depicting a group of playful cherubs in a landscape setting. The drawing is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark. The central figure is a large, female figure standing with her arm outstretched, while several cherubs surround her in a chaotic and energetic scene. Da Carpi was a prominent artist of the Italian Renaissance and this work is characteristic of his style, known for its delicate linework and playful subject matter. The image provides an allegory about love and the playful nature of the human experience.
