EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, created by Johann Friedrich Bause in 1790, we are transported back to the enchanting world of Cupid, the god of love. The image depicts a moment frozen in time as Cupid delicately feels the point of an arrow. His gaze is directed upwards, perhaps contemplating his next target or seeking guidance from above. Bause's engraving beautifully captures the essence of this iconic deity, with intricate details that showcase his divine nature. The first state of two adds to its historical significance and rarity. This artwork serves as a window into 18th-century Germany and its rich cultural heritage. It invites us to ponder not only matters of love but also concepts such as war and warfare, symbolized by Cupid's weapon – the arrow. Housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art, this portrait resonates with religious undertones while showcasing Bause's exceptional artistic talent. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us be reminded of love's power to transcend time and boundaries. Whether used for personal reflection or displayed proudly in a collection celebrating art history, "Cupid feeling the point of an arrow" remains an enduring testament to human emotions and our fascination with mythology.
