Venus Presents Cupid to Calypso
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink drawing by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Pinelli, created in the 19th century. This artwork is taken from "The Adventures of Telemachus," Book 7, and depicts a scene from Greek mythology. In the image, the goddess Venus, dressed in flowing robes and adorned with jewels, presents Cupid, the god of love, to Calypso, a nymph. Calypso is seated on a rocky shore, surrounded by the tranquil waters of the sea. Cupid, with his mischievous smile and bow and arrow, stands before her, ready to spread the seeds of love. The drawing is executed in pen and black ink with brush and brown and gray wash over traces of black chalk on ivory laid paper laid down on board. The use of ink and wash creates a rich, textured effect, with the brown and gray tones adding depth and dimension to the image. Bartolomeo Pinelli masterfully captures the essence of the mythological tale, with the figures depicted in a naturalistic yet idealized manner. The drawing is a testament to Pinelli's skill as a draughtsman and his ability to bring the characters of Greek mythology to life. This artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those with a focus on Italian art, mythology, or the works of Bartolomeo Pinelli. It is a beautiful and intriguing piece that invites the viewer to delve deeper into the world of Greek mythology and the adventures of Telemachus." Location: Art Institute of Chicago, USA.
