A Sleeping Cupid c. early 16th century

"A Sleeping Cupid" is a small bronze relief sculpture by the artist known as Pseudo Antonio da Brescia, created in the early 16th century. The sculpture depicts the Roman god of love, Cupid, sleeping peacefully while leaning against a stone pedestal. The composition is simple and elegant, with a delicate balance between the figure and the surrounding landscape. The artist's skillful rendering of Cupid's youthful features and the natural details of the background highlight the beauty and fragility of the subject. The sculpture is a fine example of the Italian Renaissance art style, characterized by its classical themes, attention to detail, and mastery of technical skill.
