Cupid as a Link Boy | Joshua Reynolds | 1774

In this striking reinterpretation of the classical god of love, Joshua Reynolds transforms Cupid into a somber street urchin, his dark eyes and soot-streaked wings embodying innocence lost amid urban gloom. Clad in tattered clothing and clutching a smoking torch, the figure stands against a dim, smoky backdrop that evokes the melancholic atmosphere of eighteenth-century London. Through subdued tones and psychological depth, Reynolds recasts myth into moral realism—a haunting meditation on vulnerability, poverty, and the fallen angelic ideal.
