According to Greek and Roman mythology, Cupid (Eros to the Greeks) was the god of love. His mother, Venus (Aphrodite), was jealous of Psyche, a mortal princess, and sent Cupid to shoot her with a love arrow that would make her fall in love with a horrible creature. By accident, Cupid pricked himself as he did so and reversed the effect on Psyche. Venus tried unsuccessfully to keep the two apart. Finally, Cupid and Pysche (seen here together) were allowed to marry, and Psyche was granted immortality.

The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun (Rev. 12: 1-4) William Blake (British, 1757-1827). The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun (Rev. 12: 1-4), ca. 1803-1805. Black ink and watercolor over traces of graphite and incised lines on wove paper, Image: 17 3/16 x 13 11/16 in. (43.7 x 34.8 cm). After the French Revolution, artists such as the printmaker, painter, and poet William Blake drew subject matter from the biblical book of Revelation to contemplate the tumult of their era. This watercolor refers to the appearance of a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet” and a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns.” The dragon, identified with Satan, attempts to snatch a soon-to-be-born son from the frightened woman, who represents the Virgin Mary, Israel, and the church. Though this imagery is highly personal, like much of Blake’s visionary poetry and art, it relates to his work as a reproductive engraver

Angels Holding a Dial Indicating the Different Hours of the Acts of the Passion (Anges tenant un cadran indiquant les différentes heures des actes de la passion) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Angels Holding a Dial Indicating the Different Hours of the Acts of the Passion (Anges tenant un cadran indiquant les différentes heures des actes de la passion), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 3/4 x 6 3/4 in. (19.7 x 17.1 cm). To help guide the reader through the narrative of the Passion in his published Bible, Tissot repeatedly depicts two angels holding a dial, or clock, indicating the specific hour at which each event occurs. The tapers in their hands, Tissot tells us, signify purity and light: behind them, the sky is dark, but countless stars recall the promise of eternity. European Art 1886-1894
