EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Frederic Leighton's masterpiece, "Cupid and Doves". Painted in oil on canvas during the 19th century, this stunning artwork measures 128.2 x 212.1cm and is currently held in a private collection. The focal point of the painting is Cupid himself, depicted as a young boy standing on one leg with his golden bow in hand. His gaze is fixed upon a flock of doves that surround him, symbolizing love and purity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate feathers of the doves to the delicate flowers adorning a nearby flowerpot. Commissioned by Stewart Hodgson for his Mayfair house, this lunette-shaped artwork exudes elegance and sophistication. The white background enhances the ethereal quality of the scene while allowing each element to shine. Leighton's mastery of classicism shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend mythology with contemporary artistry. The composition creates a sense of movement and harmony within its semi-circle shape. As you admire this photo print, allow yourself to be transported back to an era where beauty was celebrated through art. Let your imagination soar alongside Cupid as he spreads love and joy through his enchanting presence among these graceful doves.
