EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Winged Cupid Figurine on a Pyramidial Base hails from the Roman Period (30 BCE-395 CE) or later, showcasing the fusion of Greek and Roman artistic influences during this time. The figurine, dating back to the 1st century AD, depicts the mythological figure of Cupid, the god of love, as a winged infant. He is shown playfully nocking an arrow on his bow, symbolizing the power of love to strike and pierce the heart. The pyramidial base, a common feature in Hellenistic and Roman art, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the piece. Originating from the Eastern Mediterranean, this bronze sculpture is now a cherished addition to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection in the United States. The intricate details of the figurine's wings, body, and bow are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The rich patina on the surface adds depth and character, making this piece a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers. The Winged Cupid Figurine on a Pyramidial Base is a prime example of the artistic heritage and cultural exchange that took place during the Roman Period. Its presence in the museum allows us to explore the historical context and artistic traditions of this time, providing valuable insights into the ancient world and its enduring influence on contemporary art and culture.
