EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a horizontal oval depicting a blindfolded cupid, his arrow piercing through two hearts that are juxtaposed side by side. The heart on the left is linked to a woman holding a wheel, while the heart on the right is connected to a man. Created between 1501 and 1600 by an anonymous German artist from the 16th century, this artwork measures approximately 3.7x5 cm and can be found at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The intricate details of this pen and black ink drawing with brown wash on paper draw viewers into its enchanting narrative. Symbolizing love and romance, cupid's blindfold represents the unpredictable nature of affection. The hearts represent deep emotional connections between individuals - one associated with femininity and symbolized by a wheel, possibly alluding to fate or fortune; while the other heart represents masculinity. This piece evokes feelings of passion and desire as it explores themes of love within European culture during this time period. The bow weapon held by cupid signifies his role as an agent of love, capable of striking anyone's heart at any given moment. Overall, this artwork beautifully captures both mythological elements and human emotions through its skillful execution and attention to detail. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or limitations – transcending gender, disability or societal norms – making it truly timeless in its appeal.
