Landscape with a Cupid

Beneš Knüpfer

Beneš Knüpfer - Landscape with a Cupid
Several landscapes reveal the more intimate nature of Knüpfer's work - yet even in these pictures emphasis is on sentiment and imagination, the alernation of realist sceneries with dreams. Into a specific natural motif Knüpfer placed a small cupid. He made a replica, which he called Cupid and a raven, which was reproduced in 1903 in the magazine Zlatá Praha.
