Menacing Love: A Statue by Falconet (Rijksmuseum Dossiers) Book
The story of one of the most popular statues in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, illustrated in color In 1757, the French sculptor Etienne-Maurice Falconet made his famous statue L'Amour Menacant (Menacing Love) for Madame de Pompadour, the celebrated mistress of Louis XV. By that time, her passionate relationship with the king had already cooled, so why did she commission a statue of Cupid, the god of love? This and much more is explained in this compact book written by the chief curator of sculpture at the Rijksmuseum, Frits Scholten. He examines the significance of this lifelike Cupid, traces the lives of Falconet and his chief patron, and discusses the sculptor's ideas about art and the worldwide adulation Falconet's work enjoys to this day.Read More
