Hippolyte Larde by Cupid
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th century lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece showcases the whimsical encounter between Hippolyte, a man, and Cupid, the Roman god of love. The image, reminiscent of an antique photograph, transports us back in time to the ancient world. Hippolyte, depicted with a serious expression, is shown being playfully larded or anointed by a cherubic Cupid. The god, with his mischievous grin, holds a jar of oil in one hand and a feather in the other, ready to apply it to Hippolyte's bare back. The scene is filled with a sense of humor and lightheartedness, as the boundary between the human world and the realm of the gods is momentarily blurred. This work of art is a beautiful example of Daumier's mastery of the amorini, or cupid figures, which were popular in both Greek and Roman mythology. The monochrome palette adds to the timeless quality of the piece, making it a stunning addition to any art collection or gallery. Hippolyte Larde by Cupid is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich heritage of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the artistic traditions of 19th century France. This lithograph, with its intricate lettering and detailed illustration, is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history, mythology, or the art world. Whether displayed in a museum, art center, or personal collection, this piece is sure to inspire and delight.
