"Anteros: The Symbol of Love and Reconciliation" In the vibrant world of Piccadilly Circus, amidst the hustle and bustle of London's heart, stands a majestic statue known as Anteros. This captivating figure, also referred to as "The Fluminense swallowtail, " represents not only love but also reconciliation. Derived from Greek mythology, often depicted alongside his brother Eros. While Eros embodies passionate love, Anteros symbolizes a more mature and reciprocal form of affection. Together with Psyche looking at them in awe, they create an enchanting tableau that has fascinated artists for centuries. One such masterpiece is "Cupid Blindfolded by Venus, " an oil on canvas painting that captures the essence of this mythical duo. Another remarkable portrayal can be found in Johannes Riepenhausen's work titled "Eros and Anteros with Psyche Looking at Them. " These artistic renditions showcase the profound impact these figures have had on culture throughout history. Piccadilly Circus itself serves as a fitting backdrop for this iconic statue. Known as "The Hub of the Universe" or even "The Centre of the World, " it has been immortalized in various lithographs and photographs over time. From William Walcot's 1927 lithograph to Randolph Schwabe's perspective looking northwards during the same year, each image captures the allure and energy emanating from this bustling square. Dating back to 1900 but popularized in Francis Frith & Co. 's photograph from 1909, Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain proudly stands tall within Piccadilly Circus. At its summit rests Anteros Acheus - another representation inspired by Parides agavus butterfly species - spreading its wings wide open against London's skyline. As we delve into history through these visual representations, we witness how Anteros continues to captivate hearts across generations.
