EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette of Cupid, dating back to the 1st or 2nd century AD. Created by an anonymous Roman artist during the height of the empire, this marble sculpture now resides in the prestigious Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. The image captures the essence of happiness and joy that is often associated with Cupid, a mythological figure representing love and desire. With his wings spread wide, this youthful god-child exudes a sense of blissful gaiety that transcends time. Carved from a single block of marble, the statuette's nudity reflects both its pagan origins and ancient Roman artistic conventions. As one gazes upon it, they are transported to an era where polytheism reigned supreme and religious beliefs were intertwined with daily life. The intricate details on this masterpiece highlight the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. The smoothness of the marble surface adds to its ethereal beauty while emphasizing Cupid's divine nature as he embodies love itself. Through Stefano Baldini's lens, we are granted access to this extraordinary work of art. This photograph not only immortalizes an iconic piece but also evokes profound emotions within us - reminding us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to inspire and captivate our souls.
