In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are introduced to Francesco Primaticcio's masterpiece titled "Vulcan Forging Darts Cupid 1552-56". The artwork, created using red chalk and highlighted with white gouache on brownish paper, measures an impressive 13 7/16 x 17 3/16 inches (341 x 437 cm). The image portrays a scene of mythical proportions as Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and metalworking, is depicted forging darts for none other than Cupid himself. This intriguing composition showcases Primaticcio's exceptional talent in capturing both the strength and vulnerability of these iconic characters. With meticulous attention to detail, every stroke of red chalk brings life to Vulcan's muscular physique as he hammers away at his anvil. Meanwhile, Cupid stands nearby with his bow and arrows ready for action. The contrasting colors against the brownish paper create a visually striking effect that draws viewers into this enchanting world. Primaticcio was an Italian artist born in Bologna in 1504 or 1505 but later found fame in Paris. His ability to blend classical mythology with Renaissance aesthetics is evident in this piece. Through his masterful use of chiaroscuro techniques and delicate shading, he creates a sense of depth and movement that adds further intrigue to the narrative. This remarkable print by Artokoloro allows us to appreciate Primaticcio's artistic genius up close while preserving its historical significance for generations to
