Relief inspired by the painting “Cupid Carving His Bow” (1533-1535), by Parmigianino, an oil painting on panel preserved in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola (1503-1540), known as Parmigianino (“the little Parmesan”), was one of the foremost exponents of Mannerism and one of the first Italian painters to experiment with engraving.

The representation of a figure from various perspectives including the back was a basic concern in the Renaissance. Parmigianino (1503-1540), interested in rear views, was an Italian painter and etcher whose canon of beauty influenced Mannerist style throughout Europe. In this work, Cupid turns his head and looks over his shoulder, as if he had been interrupted by the viewer while carving his bow.
