TALLER DE BERTEL THORVALDSEN (1768-1844): RELIEVE EN MÁRMOL CON CUPIDO RECIBIDO POR ANACREONTE, 'INVIERNO PROPIEDAD DE LA FAMILIA GUINNESS DE ELVEDEN. Tallado en mármol, de forma rectangular con la parte superior arqueada, el panel en relieve representa a Cupido, de frente y casi desnudo, calentando su mano izquierda sobre el brasero mientras su solícito anfitrión se quita con ambas manos la túnica empapada por la lluvia. Eros se identifica por su atributo estándar (un arco), mientras que una correa que corre sobre el pecho indica un carcaj, lleno de flechas, que lleva colgado a la espalda, A la derecha, una elegante lámpara grecorromana de bronce, con un brasero en cuclillas ardiendo, junto al anciano poeta griego Anacreonte, barbudo y encorvado, que ha sido alcanzado por una de las flechas de Eros, (Detrás de Anacreonte se aloja un tirso, mientras que el regordete almohadón de su cama está cubierto con la piel de un "gran felino", probablemente una pantera, símbolos ambos del dios del vino, Baco. En la esquina inferior izquierda hay una gran jarra de vino con un rastro de vides o hiedra tallada en relieve alrededor de los hombros (otro símbolo), inclinada a 45 grados contra ella hay una lira, hecha con precisión de una gran tortuga o caparazón de tortuga con cuernos estriados para sostener una camilla, montada posteriormente en un marco de madera de palisandro y engobe dorado, 52cm x 38cm Procedencia: Venta Guinness en Elveden, lote 402, catalogado como "de Farmleigh, The Nursery Corridor". Comparable en museo: Un ejemplar rectangular en el Museo Thorvaldsen, nº de inventario A827. Comparable en subasta: Véase Sotheby's, Londres, 'Tesoros', 4 de julio de 2018, lote 26, del propio Thorvaldsen y el ejemplo real enviado a Schönborn en 1840, y no el del Museo de Oldenburg: Vendido por 180.000 libras. Este relieve atmosférico representa el antiguo tema de Anacreonte, que escribió un poema sobre cómo en una noche fría y lluviosa el poeta acogió en su casa a un joven empapado por la lluvia, le quitó con delicadeza el atuendo mojado y lo calentó junto al fuego. Resultó ser Cupido, pero el dios se rió de su anfitrión y le atravesó el corazón con una flecha. El panel se concibió originalmente como una serie de cuatro representaciones de las cuatro estaciones, y el ejemplo actual representa el invierno. Oda III de Anacreonte, estrofa 1, traducida por Thomas Moore, 1869: "Era el mediodía de la noche, cuando alrededor del polo Se ve rodar al hosco Oso; Y los mortales, cansados del día; duermen todas sus preocupaciones; Un niño en esa hora lúgubre, Vino llorando a mi silenciosa enramada, y me despertó con una plegaria lastimera, ¡Para salvarlo del aire de medianoche! 'Y quién eres tú', grité despierto, ...que hace volar mis dichosas visiones". 'Oh gentil señor,' dijo el infante, por piedad, llévame a tu cobertizo; No temas el engaño: un niño solitario Vago por la sombría naturaleza". Literatura relacionada: M.
