Louis Mathurin Auguste Moreau (1855–1919)

Auguste Moreau Venus and Cupid bronze composition presents the classical mythological theme in a light, salon-friendly formulation. The woman's stepping movement and her delicate relationship with Cupid create a playful, intimate atmosphere. The emphasis is not on the mythological story but on the graceful rhythm between the figures and the emotional straightforwardness. The work is a characteristic example of Moreau's mythological-themed, decorative sculptures.
