"Cupid's Forge" is a Pre-Raphaelite painting by Edward Burne-Jones from 1861. The painting features Cupid, the Roman god of love, kneeling and forging arrows in a forest setting. A female figure, possibly Psyche or Venus, observes him from a distance. The composition is evocative and allegorical, highlighting the themes of love, passion, and desire. The painting, executed in a style reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelites, utilizes rich colors and detailed brushwork to create a sense of mystery and enchantment.
