Description: | This painting came to Liverpool around 1842, when it was purchased for the Liverpool Royal Institution in order to expand the scope of their collection of Italian paintings. Then thought to be by the early seventeenth-century artist Domenichino, it is now believed to be by an eighteenth-century painter influenced by the same classical models as this artist. It was thought to be a fragment of a much larger painting showing Mars and Venus. The ledge in the foreground upon which Cupid's arrows rest contradicts this suggestion as it is a framing device often used in such small-scale pieces. | Subjects: | mythology (Cupid); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Domenichino (Italian painter and draftsman, 1581-1641) Æ Manner of Attributed to after Domenichino (Italian painter and draftsman, 1581-1641) Previously attributed to Domenichino (Italian painter and draftsman, 1581-1641) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8357... | Go to resource |
