EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored copperplate engraving by William Nelson Gardiner, based on an illustration by Princess Elizabeth, we witness the whimsical moment when the mischievous god of love, Cupid, deposits his banner in the hallowed temple of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and war. The scene is filled with an enchanting allegory of love and supplication. Cupid, depicted as a cherub with a quiver full of arrows, a bow slung over his shoulder, and a heart-tipped spear in hand, approaches the temple of Minerva. He carries a flag adorned with the image of a heart pierced by an arrow, symbolizing the power of love. With a gentle touch, he places the banner on a plinth at the temple's entrance. Minerva, represented by Pallas Athena, the Greek version of the goddess, stands inside the temple, her helmet on her head, spear in hand, and an owl, her symbol, perched on her arm. She observes Cupid with curiosity and a hint of amusement. The goddess of wisdom acknowledges the power of love and the role it plays in human emotions and relationships. This beautiful artwork, titled "Cupid Turned Volunteer," is a testament to the enduring influence of classical mythology on art and the intricate interplay between love and wisdom. The exquisite details, from the intricate folds of the goddess's robes to the delicate shading on the cherub's cheeks, make this a stunning addition to any collection of classical art or mythology. This engraving is a reminder of the timeless beauty and allure of the stories and symbols that have captivated generations.
