Cupid kneels on the grass clutching his bow and looks at us. A lizard scuttles down the dark tree trunk and a goat – almost hidden in the shadows – nibbles some foliage.\n\nThe painting may illustrate a story from mythology or a literary romance. Garofalo worked at Ferrara, and this ambitious composition of about 1535–45, probably a court commission, reflects the influence of the mythological paintings sent to that city by Titian in the late 1510s and early 1520s, such as Bacchus and Ariadne (now in the National Gallery).\n\nWhen the National Gallery purchased the picture as part of a larger collection in 1860, the director was concerned about the reception of such an erotic painting in a public collection. He sent it to the National Gallery of Scotland, presumably thinking there was a smaller public in Edinburgh and less likelihood of moral outrage reaching the national press. It remained in Edinburgh until 1932.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/garofalo-two-couples-with-cupid\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Two Couples with Cupid\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garofalo","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509573619955,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (50\" x 70\")","offer_id":50509573652723,"sku":null,"price":5075.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 1\/8\" x 21 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509573685491,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18 1\/2\" x 25 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509573718259,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (22 5\/8\" x 31 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509573751027,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (29 1\/4\" x 40 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509573783795,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (35 1\/8\" x 49 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509573816563,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (41 3\/8\" x 57 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509573849331,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (49 5\/8\" x 69 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509573882099,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TwoCoupleswithCupid.jpg?v=1789252708","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/two-couples-with-cupid-ngal576","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
