A Caravaggio first, this accessible and attractive illustrated volume focuses on one of the famous artists most iconic artworks, Victorious Cupid.Usually housed at the Gemldegalerie in Berlin, Victorious Cupid (160102) by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (15711610) is the centrepiece in a new focus exhibition at The Wallace Collection. Caravaggios painting, also known as Amor Vincit Omnia, shows Cupid, the Roman god of desire, as a young boy, in an animated pose while wearing dark eagle wings and holding two arrows. It was the last allegorical work Caravaggio painted in Rome. The music manuscript on the floor shows a large V in the margin of the righthand page which is believed to acknowledges Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani (15641537), who commissioned the painting, and is said to have prized Victorious Cupid above all other works in his collection.This richly illustrated softcover print publication features an introduction by the director of The Wallace Collection, Xavier Bray, followed by five illustrated chapters by the volumes principal author, Helen Langdon. A description of the painting and summary of Caravaggios early life, present Victorious Cupid against the background of his artistic development and the intellectual interests of his patrons, and within the broader context of the theme of love conquers all. Langdon examines the meaning of the painting, and considers how Caravaggio brings the subject to earth, from the heavens to the bedroom, mocking the idealisations of renaissance art.Publication accompanies an exhibition at The Wallace Collection, London.
