Cupido durmiente (Miguel Ángel)
El Cupido durmiente fue una escultura creada en el Renacimiento por el artista Miguel Ángel. En el año 1496 fue realizada en mármol a tamaño natural. Es una obra desaparecida desde el siglo XVII, y se considera plausible que hubiera sido destruida en el incendio del extinto palacio de Whitehall de Londres en 1698.[1]
Historia
[editar]Después de una breve estancia en Bolonia, regresó Miguel Ángel a Florencia, donde esculpió el Cupido, al verla, una vez terminada, Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de Médici (1463-1503) le dijo al escultor: «Quizá si la enterraras y la trataras para darle el aspecto de una obra antigua, la enviaría a Roma, donde estoy seguro de que creerían que es una antigüedad y la venderías mucho mejor».

Sleeping Cupid (Michelangelo)
Sculpture by Michelangelo
The Sleeping Cupid is a now-lost sculpture created by Renaissance artist Michelangelo, which he artificially aged to make it look like an antique on the advice of Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco in order to sell for a higher price.

Michelangelo never said why he carved a sculpture of a cupid, but it is known that he studied a sculpture in the Medici Gardens that contained a sleeping cupid.[2]Ascanio Condivi, the Italian Painter, described Michelangelo's work as "a god of love, aged six or seven years old and asleep".[3]
