EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cupid frightening other children" showcases the artistic brilliance of Italian Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Created in 1757 as a design for a fresco in the Villa Valmarana near Vicenza, Italy, this pen with wash on white paper illustration is now housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In this intriguing artwork, Cupid takes center stage as he playfully scares other children by covering his head with a cloth. The allegorical figure of Cupid symbolizes love and desire, but here we see him mischievously causing alarm and fear among his young companions. Tiepolo's attention to detail and skillful use of monochrome brings out the intensity of emotions portrayed by each child. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was not only renowned for his large-scale frescoes adorning churches and palaces but also excelled in etchings and oil paintings. His versatility as an artist allowed him to work across Italy, Germany, and Spain during the 18th century. Elected President of the Academy of Padua, Tiepolo left an indelible mark on art history. This particular illustration is featured in Volume I of "The Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo" by Detlev Baron Von Hadeln. Its inclusion in this collection further solidifies its significance within Tiepolo's body of work. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to a time when artistry knew no bounds and imagination reigned supreme.
