Sleeping Cupid. Tuscan Baroque sculptor close to Giovacchino Fortini (1670 - 1736), Italy 18th century The collected composition, which shows a sleeping Cupid with his head resting on his quiver clutching his bow with his right hand, represents one of the subjects dearest to Renaissance and Baroque sculpture inspired by the mythological modes of classical art. Our sculpture finds parallels with similar compositions in bronze and marble assigned one to the work of the late Baroque Florentine sculptor and architect Giovacchino Fortini (fig. 1) and the other to the almost contemporary Agostino Cornacchini (Pescia 1686 - Rome 1754) (fig. 2).
