EDITORS COMMENTS
Love the Sentinel, a captivating masterpiece by Jean-Honore Fragonard, takes us on a journey into the realm of mythology and sentimentality. This exquisite oil painting, created between 1773-76, showcases Fragonard's mastery in capturing emotions through his brushstrokes. The focal point of the artwork is Cupid, who appears as a winged sentinel guarding love itself. Positioned against an oval canvas, measuring 56.2x47.3 cm, this enchanting piece resides in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Fragonard's fascination with Cupid is evident throughout his body of work; however, Love the Sentinel holds special significance as it forms part of a pendant pair alongside Love as Folly for the same interior. Together they create an artistic harmony that embodies both romance and folly. Symbolism plays a vital role within this composition; doves and roses adorn the scene as timeless representations of love and passion. The decorative elements seamlessly blend with Fragonard's rococo style to evoke an atmosphere filled with charm and elegance. As we gaze upon Love the Sentinel, we are transported to a world where arrows pierce hearts and love reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos or uncertainty, love stands guard like an unwavering sentinel.
