EDITORS COMMENTS

This print depicts the enigmatic figure of Eros, the Greek god of love, also known as his Roman equivalent, Cupid. In this exquisite work by English artist, John Singleton Copley's mentor, Benjamin West's pupil, and engraver, Thomas Stothard, Eros is shown in a conventionalised form, with wings, a heart-shaped quiver, and a bow and arrow at the ready. The god's piercing gaze is fixed on an unfortunate victim, who is not visible in the image but is implied by the arrow's pointed trajectory. Eros, the personification of love, is a complex deity, capable of inspiring both passionate desire and painful heartache. He is often depicted as a mischievous and playful figure, but in this image, his aim is unambiguously directed towards inflicting the sweet-sharp pangs of love. The bow and arrow, symbols of desire and its consequences, are emblematic of the god's power to stir the human heart. The historical and mythological significance of this image lies in its representation of a timeless and universal theme. Love, with its myriad forms and effects, has been a subject of fascination for artists, poets, and thinkers throughout history. This print, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient mythology and the enduring power of love. Thomas Stothard's masterful execution of this image, with its delicate lines, subtle shading, and intricate details, attests to his skill as an engraver and his deep understanding of the classical tradition. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of mythology and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
