The Worship of Cupid 1770 - 1795

"The Worship of Cupid," a tapestry by Jean-Baptiste Huet I, depicts a scene of adoration. A woman kneels in a garden, her arms outstretched towards a cherub perched atop a stone column. The cherub, representing Cupid, holds a torch, a symbol of love and passion. The woman is surrounded by flowers and cherubs, highlighting the theme of love and beauty. Created between 1770 and 1795, this tapestry showcases the Rococo style with its delicate details and playful composition. This tapestry is a testament to Huet's artistic skill and his mastery of tapestry weaving, and now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
