Cupid Chastised

Artist: Bartolomeo Manfredi (Italian, 1582–1622)

Date: 1613

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

Cupid Chastised depicts a moment of high drama: Mars, the god of war, beats Cupid for having caused his affair with Venus, the goddess of love, which exposed him to the derision and outrage of the other gods. Venus implores him in vain to desist. Surrounded by darkness, the three figures are boldly illuminated from the left, intensifying the dynamism and impact of the composition. The sheer physicality of the figures - the crouching Venus, whose broadly realized face strays from the classical ideal; the powerful Mars, whose musculature and brilliant red drapery seem to pulsate with fury; and Cupid, whose naked flesh and recumbent position render him particularly vulnerable - conveys the violent discord of the scene. On one level a tale of domestic disturbance, the story also symbolizes the eternal conflict between love and war.

A pose reference

I love poses like this. What is happening? What could this character be doing? What is being done to them? What was I thinking when I made this pose over 10 years ago?

A sketch dump of pose redraws!

Don't really like the Drac face redraw, I was experimenting with a cartoony face and it came out weird. XD Probably should have tried Ericka or Lucy, but the rest came out good!
