EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "Cupid Chastised" by Bartolomeo Manfredi, we are transported into a mythical world where gods and goddesses roam. Painted in 1613, the oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 175.3x130.6 cm and is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. The scene depicted in the painting shows Cupid, the mischievous god of love, being chastised for his playful antics. With wings spread wide and arrows at his side, Cupid stands before a powerful goddess who wields a whip as her weapon of choice. It is Mars, the Roman god of war himself, who takes on the task of disciplining this wayward deity. The composition exudes tension as Cupid bows his head in submission while Mars raises his arm to deliver punishment. The intricate details bring life to each character - from Cupid's cherubic face to Mars' muscular physique. This mesmerizing artwork not only showcases Manfredi's skillful brushwork but also delves into themes of mythology and power dynamics within ancient Roman society. As viewers gaze upon this masterpiece, they are reminded that even gods can be held accountable for their actions. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "Cupid Chastised" continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation – a testament to both Manfredi's artistic prowess and the enduring allure of mythological tales.
