Auction of the Cupids
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 18th-century allegorical print by the renowned German artist, Johann Heinrich Ramberg. This work of art, created in 1799, showcases a fantastical scene of Cupids, or Amorini, being auctioned off to an old woman and other onlookers. The print, etched on ivory wove paper, is a testament to Ramberg's artistic skill and the cultural significance of the allegorical figure during the eighteenth century. The image is rich in symbolism and humor. The old woman, with a determined look on her face, reaches out to secure a cherub, while other men and women, some with amused expressions, bid for their own. The cherubs, depicted as buxom, winged figures, are shown escaping from their baskets, adding a sense of whimsy and escape to the scene. The allegorical figure of Cupid, the god of love, is a common theme in art from this period. Ramberg's depiction of the Cupids being auctioned off may represent the idea of love being a commodity or a desirable possession. The monochrome, grey-toned print, with its intricate details and delicate lines, is a stunning example of the artistic school of the time. This historic print is now part of the impressive collections at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is exhibited for the public to appreciate and learn from the rich cultural heritage it represents. The Auction of the Cupids is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, allegory, or the fantastical world of mythology and love.
