EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Three Cupids and Two Dolphins" takes us back to the 16th century, where mischief and playfulness were beautifully captured by an unknown artist. The image showcases three mischievous winged cupids surrounded by two dolphins in a serene sea setting. The engraving, formerly attributed to Enea Vico but now of unknown creator, exudes a sense of timeless beauty and charm. It is believed to have been inspired by the works of Battista Franco, an Italian artist known for his intricate engravings. The composition portrays the boys engaging in playful antics as they interact with the dolphins. Their youthful energy is palpable as they create their own little world amidst this geographical feature. The cut-out style adds depth to the artwork, making it visually striking. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is part of a series called "Ex Antiquis Cameorum" which highlights various aspects of life during that era. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of Italian heritage but also in its representation of human connection with nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait frozen in time, we are reminded that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments filled with joy and wonderment.
