EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cupid on a lion, 1652" by Wenceslaus Hollar transports us back to the 17th century, showcasing an allegorical figure that is both angelic and dangerous. The image features Cupid, the cherub of love, fearlessly perched atop a majestic lion. With its etching technique reminiscent of Giulio Romano's work, this piece beautifully captures the concept of power and vulnerability. The bohemian background adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the wildness of both Cupid and his companion. The nakedness of Cupid symbolizes purity and innocence as he fearlessly embraces danger with confidence. This portrayal challenges traditional notions by depicting a male figure in such a vulnerable state. Wenceslaus Hollar's attention to detail shines through in every stroke of this artwork. From the intricate lines defining each feather on Cupid's wings to the texture captured on the lion's mane, it is evident that Hollar was a masterful artist. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Hollar's legacy as one of Bohemia's finest artists. It invites viewers into an enchanting world where mythological figures come alive amidst stunning landscapes. With its timeless appeal and thought-provoking symbolism, "Cupid on a lion" continues to captivate audiences today just as it did centuries ago when it was first created by Wenceslaus Hollar.
