Bronze statue of Eros sleeping - 3rd century B.C.–early 1st century A.D. | Greek
L. 33 9/16 in. (85.24 cm)
The Hellenistic period introduced the accurate characterization of age. Young children enjoyed great favor, whether in mythological form, as baby Herakles or Eros, or in genre scenes, playing with each other or with pets. This Eros, god of love, has been brought down to earth and disarmed.
This statue of Eros, the Greek god of love, was likely dedicated at a sanctuary, in honor of the gods. “It’s so quiet that you don’t think of it as so radical, but actually it’s very rare and unusual to show a god sleeping,” notes curator Seán Hemingway. http://met.org/WuMJAK
... This bronze statue was created in seven sections that were later joined together. View an animation and additional photographs to get a glimpse of the process. http://met.org/WJCt2x
