EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Statue of Eros sleeping" a bronze masterpiece dating back to around 200 B. C. Created by an anonymous Greek artist during the Hellenistic period, this sculpture stands at a height of 45.7 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The statue depicts Eros, the Greek god of love, peacefully slumbering. With its intricate metalwork and attention to detail, this artwork exemplifies classical beauty and craftsmanship. The delicate wings on Eros' back symbolize his divine nature as a winged deity. Eros is portrayed here as a cherubic child, emphasizing his innocence and purity. His nudity further emphasizes his vulnerability and natural state of being. This representation aligns with ancient Greek mythology's portrayal of Eros as mischievous yet gentle, capable of both causing chaos and inspiring deep affection. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into the realm of mythological wonder. The Statue of Eros sleeping invites us to contemplate themes such as love, desire, and human emotions that have fascinated humanity for centuries. With its timeless appeal and artistic excellence, this bronze sculpture continues to captivate viewers today just as it did over two thousand years ago when it was first crafted by skilled hands in ancient Greece.
