This is a reproduction of "Cupid Supplicating Jupiter" by Peter Paul Rubens of about 1614. The relation between Eros and Zeus was complicated by the power that the love had over the Father of the Gods. His amorous adventures were legend and the source of constant difficulties with his wife and queen. This work shows the frenetic energy and lust ebullience that mark many of Rubens' paintings and depicts the asking of Eros for the hand of Psyche in marriage. Rubens was about fifty-one years old when he produced this work and he died twenty-six years later. The masterpiece is at the Princeton University Art Museum, New Jersey.
