Caravaggio's astonishingly naturalistic and provocative Cupid
Victorious hung in the palace of a famous family at the heart of
seventeenth-century Rome. Helen Langdon explores how the artist,
famed for his originality, created a balance between a suggestion
of his own world - a world of lively and rowdy street life - and a
complex and ambiguous response to both ancient and Renaissance art
and literature. Langdon also looks at the challenge the painting
threw out to contemporary painters, whose world was characterised
by extreme and bitter rivalries; often they reject his irony,
sometimes embellish the painting's sexuality, and at other times
convey an opposing sense of the harmony of the arts.
