EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Cupidons, 1615. Artist: Leonard Gaultier (Cupidons, 1615) captures the essence of Roman mythology with its depiction of Cupid, the god of erotic love. This print is part of Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs by Blaise de Vigenere, published in Paris in 1615. In this engraving, a group of winged figures can be seen playing and practicing their archery skills in a picturesque forest setting. Cupid himself stands at the center, aiming his bow and arrow with precision and intent. The allegorical figure represents both the power and vulnerability associated with love. Leonard Gaultier's skillful artistry brings to life the seventeenth-century concept of love as a recreational activity practiced amidst nature's beauty. The monochrome technique adds depth to the composition while emphasizing each intricate detail. This print serves as a reminder that even gods can experience injury when it comes to matters of the heart. It symbolizes both the joyous playfulness and potential pain inherent in romantic relationships. As an important piece within art media history, 'Cupidons' showcases Gaultier's talent alongside other renowned artists such as Thomas de Leu and Jaspar Isaac. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today. "
