ABOUT
Jean Sul-Abadie
Jean Sul-Abadie (Born 1850 ~ Died 15th April 1890) was a French artist, a pupil of Jouffroy and Falguière. Specialising in bronze sculpting in the Art Nouveau style. He made his Salon debut in 1872.
Cupid & Venus
Different tales exist about the origin of Venus and Cupid. Some say that Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, had a love affair with Mars, the god of war. Out of this relationship, Cupid was born. In the following painting you see Venus with Mars, who is being disarmed by Cupid.
Cupid has attributes from both of his parents. Like his mother he is considered to be the god of love, or more precisely, the god of falling in love. He is portrayed as an innocent little child with bow and arrows. He shoots arrows to the heart, and awakening a love that you’re powerless to resist.
In classical mythology, Cupid (Latin Cupido, meaning “desire”) is the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. He is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus and the war god Mars, and is known in Latin also as Amor (“Love”). His Greek counterpart is Eros.
Although Eros is in Classical Greek art as a slender winged youth, during the Hellenistic period, he was increasingly portrayed as a chubby boy. During this time, his iconography acquired the bow and arrow that represent his source of power: a person, or even a deity, who is shot by Cupid’s arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire. In myths, Cupid is a minor character who serves mostly to set the plot in motion. He is a main character only in the tale of Cupid and Psyche, when wounded by his own weapons he experiences the ordeal of love. Although other extended stories are not told about him, his tradition is rich in poetic themes and visual scenarios, such as “Love conquers all” and the retaliatory punishment or torture of Cupid.
In art, Cupid often appears in multiples as the Amores, or amoriniin the later terminology of art history, the equivalent of the Greek erotes. Cupids are a frequent motif of both Roman art and later Western art of the classical tradition. In the 15th century, the iconography of Cupid starts to become indistinguishable from the putto.
Cupid continued to be a popular figure in the Middle Ages, when under Christian influence he often had a dual nature as Heavenly and Earthly love. In the Renaissance, a renewed interest in classical philosophy endowed him with complex allegorical meanings. In contemporary popular culture, Cupid is shown drawing his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine’s Day.
Venus is the Roman goddess whose functions encompassed love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity, victory, and desire. In Roman mythology, she was the mother of the Roman people through her son, Aeneas, who survived the fall of Troy...

'La Tuffolina', a Marble Group of a Diving Girl by Odoarda Tabacchi, circa 1880
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
'La Tuffolina' - an important white marble group of a diving girl on a naturalistic base, by Odoarda Tabacchi
Italian, circa 1880.
Signed 'O.Tabacchi/Torino'.
This Fine marble group depicts a graceful young girl wearing a knitted bathing dress, her hair held in a chignon with her arms raised above her head in a diving position, standing on the edge of a natural POOL, with the waves lapping behind her.
This charming and dynamic figure, full of natural grace proved to be one of Tabacchi's most popular sculptures and was edited in a number of sizes in both bronze and marble.
First exhibited in marble at the Esposizione d'arte di Napoli del 1877, it was reportedly purchased by King Vittorio Emanuele II and illustrated in L'Illustrazione Italiana, No 23, June 10, 1877, in an engraving based on a sketch by Michetti.
It was subsequently exhibited with great acclaim at the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle and examples were also produced in ceramic, including Parian ware examples by the English firm of Robinson & Leadbenton.
A comparative marble version is in the collection of the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples.
