More about this artwork

"Cupidon et son arc" by William Bouguereau is a captivating sketch that draws the viewer into the world of mythology through the innocent yet potent figure of Cupid, the Roman god of love. In this work, Bouguereau, celebrated for his mastery in the neoclassical and realistic style, presents Cupid in a moment of youthful contemplation.The artwork features Cupid perched delicately on a ledge, his wings unfurled behind him, adding a touch of ethereal grace. His expression is thoughtful and his eyes are fixed intently ahead, perhaps targeting his next subject of affection. Clutching his bow with a gentle yet assured grip, the young god exudes both innocence and capability, embodying the complex nature of love itself.Rendered predominantly in a monochromatic palette, the attention to detail in the texture of Cupid’s curly hair and the soft feathers of his wings exemplifies Bouguereau's exceptional skill in bringing realism and emotion to his figures.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau was a French academic painter. In paintings of the realistic genre, he used mythological themes, modern interpretation of classical themes, emphasizing the female human body. During his lifetime, he achieved great popularity in France and the United States, was awarded many official honors, and sold his works for top prices. In the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art disappeared from the public eye, partly due to its changing artistic tastes. A resurgence of interest in figurative painting in the 1980s led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. He completed 822 known paintings, but the whereabouts of many are still unknown.
