EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Sleeping Woman with a Cupid" created between 1780 and 1790 by Swiss artist Henry Fuseli, we are transported into a dreamlike scene that combines beauty, vulnerability, and the mysterious power of love. The composition centers around a sleeping woman, her delicate figure gracefully reclining on what appears to be a cloud-like bed. Her peaceful expression suggests deep tranquility as she surrenders herself to slumber. Hovering above her is an enchanting cupid, his cherubic form poised in mid-air with wings gently fluttering. With bow in hand and arrow ready to strike, he embodies the essence of desire and passion. Fuseli's masterful use of etching techniques brings both figures to life with intricate details and subtle shading. The soft lines create an ethereal atmosphere that enhances the dreamy quality of the artwork. This print from the Liszt Collection captures Fuseli's ability to evoke emotions through his artistry. It invites us to contemplate themes such as love's influence on our dreams or perhaps even explores notions of vulnerability when we let ourselves succumb to its power. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we are reminded of how art has the ability to transport us beyond reality and into realms where imagination reigns supreme – where sleeping women become muses for mischievous cupids and dreams intertwine with desires.
