About the Item

This accomplished allegorical scene depicts the story in Anacreon’s Ode where Cupid is captured by the Muses. Entwined in a chain of flowers, the Muses lead cupid to captivity, where he grows so accustomed to their servitude that Venus was unable to tempt him back to freedom. The artist captures the famous myth against a dream-like landscape backdrop. The Muses wear coloured dresses, carrying cupid's confiscated arrows and bow over their shoulders. Signed and dated to the lower right. Presented in a glazed gilt frame with a cotton slip. On panel.
