EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Eros escaping by sea using his bow to propel a boat made from his quiver with an arrow as the mast and his blindfold as the sail, a banderole above". Created between 1515-27 by Italian artist Marco Dente da Ravenna, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology and Renaissance aesthetics. In this scene, Eros, also known as Cupid in Roman mythology, is depicted ingeniously using his bow to propel a unique boat across the sea. The boat itself is crafted from Eros' own quiver, with an arrow serving as its mast and his blindfold transformed into a sail. This imaginative concept highlights both the artistic skill of Marco Dente and the mythical prowess of Eros himself.

Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork exemplifies Italy's rich heritage in Renaissance art.
