EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, Cupid is depicted surveying his target with a musket in hand. The cherubic figure of Cupid, also known as the god of love in classical mythology, appears poised and determined as he takes aim at his intended mark.
The intricate details and delicate coloring bring this allegorical scene to life, showcasing the skillful artistry of both the original illustrator Princess Elizabeth and the engraver William Nelson Gardiner. The image captures a moment frozen in time, where love meets war in a unique blend of beauty and power.
As Cupid gazes upon his target with precision and focus, one can't help but be drawn into the captivating world created by Thomas Park's "Cupid Turned Volunteer." This royal depiction of love armed with a musket adds an unexpected twist to the traditional imagery associated with Cupid.
Through this stunning print, we are reminded of the timeless themes of love, desire, and determination that have inspired artists throughout history.
