Description: | This painting is copied from the left-hand side of Titian's Cupid Blindfolded. It depicts Venus with the two cupids: Anteros the god of sensual love and Eros the god of mutual love. Anteros is being admonished for his mischief; his weapons have been taken away and Venus is blindfolding him so he cannot find them. The right-hand side of the original composition features two Graces holding his bow and arrow. The tip of the bow is visible in the upper right corner of the present work, indicating that it may be a fragment cut from a larger canvas. | Subjects: | mythology (Venus blindfolding Cupid); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Titian (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1488-1576) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8917... | Go to resource |
