EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking red tone photograph from 1915 features a unique and unexpected twist on the classic image of Cupid. In this interpretation, Cupid is depicted as a woman armed with a rifle, taking aim at a target whose center is shaped like a heart. The juxtaposition of the traditional symbol of love and romance with the weapon adds an element of danger and intrigue to the scene.
The belle epoque setting further enhances the atmosphere of mystery and allure, with the woman's elaborate hairstyle and costume adding to her enigmatic charm. The dartboard in the background serves as a reminder that love can sometimes feel like a game of chance, where one must take risks in order to win.
The symbolism in this image is rich and multi-layered, inviting viewers to ponder questions about power dynamics in relationships, the nature of desire, and the lengths we are willing to go to for love. The beauty of the composition draws us in, while also challenging us to think more deeply about what it means to be struck by Cupid's arrow.
Overall, this photograph captures both the timeless appeal of Cupid as a symbol of love and passion, as well as its darker undercurrents that hint at themes of control and vulnerability.
