Bertel Thorvaldsen's ''Cupid's Reign over the Four Elements'' Set of Four
About the Item
Set of four albumen silver prints of Bertel Thorvaldsen's ''Cupid's Reign over the Four Elements'' by John G. Unnevehr (Danish/American 1822-1893), albumen prints. These images of Thorvaldsen's original marble reliefs are a joy to behold. Full of artistry and whimsy. Round prints matted and framed under glass, in simple gilt wood frames. Dated 1871.
One cupid riding a dolphin, one flying on an eagle, one walking with a lion and my favorite, the one riding Cerberus, the hound of Hades, the multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the underworld to prevent the dead from leaving.
These are truly charming and evocative images.
Remounted and re-matted on archival card, with UV resistant plexiglass.
