EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "Cupid delivers a love letter" artist Jean Baptiste Mallet beautifully captures the essence of romance and desire. The scene depicts a young woman, her face filled with passion, as she holds a love letter to her lips. Above her, Cupid soars through the air with his bow, accompanied by two doves - symbols of both love and peace. The artwork is an allegory for the enduring power of friendship and affection. Titled "L Amitie reste" or "Friendship Remains" it suggests that true connections can withstand the test of time. Mallet's painting was later reproduced in this early 19th-century print by Louis Prot. The image evokes emotions of longing and anticipation, reminding us of the timeless nature of human relationships. It speaks to our universal yearning for connection and intimacy. Beyond its symbolic elements, the print also showcases various details from the era: an upholstered sofa where the woman sits, a loyal collie dog standing guard nearby, and even hints at communication through mail with references to postage and air mail. This enchanting artwork serves as a reminder that love has always been central to human existence – whether in mythological tales or personal experiences – transcending time itself.
