The artist beautifully captures the essence of love and motherhood through the allegorical figure of Venus, the goddess of love, depicted here in a state of peaceful slumber. Lying down gracefully, Venus cradles her son Cupid tenderly in her lap. As she sleeps, Cupid playfully holds an arrow - his weapon of choice for spreading love and desire among mortals. This timeless portrayal showcases the eternal bond between mother and child, symbolizing both nurturing maternal instincts and divine affection. The intricate engraving technique employed by Quirin Mark adds depth to this mesmerizing artwork. Every delicate line etched into the print brings out the details of their figures while emphasizing their serene expressions. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece invites viewers to contemplate themes such as family dynamics, religion, and warfare that were prevalent during the 18th century.
