MATTHEUS VAN BEVEREN. Cupid on a lion

Cupid on a lion. Artist: Mattheus van Beveren (Flemish, Antwerp ca. 1630-1690 Brussels). Culture: Flemish. Dimensions: Height (statuette): 8 5/8 in. (21.9 cm); Height (base): 4 1/2 in. (11.4 cm). Date: ca. 1675-90. The winged Cupid subduing a ferocious lion embodies the notion that "love conquers all," drawn from Ovid and Virgil. In van Beveren's realization of this popular artistic theme, love is represented as a putto, or winged infant. The portrayal of Cupid as a chubby child dates to the Renaissance, as does the virtually indistinguishable imagery of infant angels in the sacred context of the same artist's Lamentation (see 64.164.242).
