EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and thought-provoking print titled "Fable of Cupid and Death" we are transported back to the year 1665, where artist Dirk Stoop and writer John Ogilby bring to life a mesmerizing tale. The image depicts an enchanting scene filled with symbolism and allegory. At the center, we see the mischievous figure of Cupid, known as Amor Eros in Greek mythology, surrounded by a group of dancers joyfully swaying to music. However, what catches our attention is the unexpected twist: Cupid has swapped his usual arrows of love for weapons of death. As if guided by some dark force, Cupid takes aim at old people who continue dancing merrily in a circle around him. With each shot from his deadly bow, they drop dead instantly while their youthful counterparts remain unharmed. This haunting illustration serves as a reminder that even love can be indiscriminate in its consequences. It challenges us to reflect on the fleeting nature of life and how it can be abruptly cut short regardless of age or circumstance. "Fable of Cupid and Death" draws inspiration from Aesop's fables but adds its own unique interpretation through Stoop's masterful artistry and Ogilby's evocative storytelling. This print invites us into a world where mortality dances hand-in-hand with desire – an eternal struggle captured within this timeless work by Quint Lox from Liszt Collection.
