"Sleeping Cupid" (1608) is a significant painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, known for his revolutionary approach to naturalism and dramatic use of chiaroscuro. This artwork, painted during Caravaggio's stay in Malta and Sicily, depicts the god of love, Cupid, in a state of vulnerability, asleep and disarmed. Unlike the idealized representations common in Renaissance art, Caravaggio's Cupid is rendered with a striking realism, showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to physical details and emotional depth.

The painting is notable for its stark contrasts of light and shadow, a hallmark of Caravaggio's style, which adds a dramatic intensity to the scene and highlights the textures and forms of Cupid's body and the drapery. The choice to portray Cupid asleep, rather than awake and active, offers a contemplative perspective on the nature of love, suggesting themes of innocence, temporality, and the dual capacity for creation and destruction inherent in passion.

"Sleeping Cupid" was commissioned by Vincenzo Giustiniani, a prominent patron of the arts and an avid collector of Caravaggio's works. The painting's historical journey has seen it housed in various collections across Europe, reflecting its enduring appeal and significance in the oeuvre of Caravaggio and the broader context of Baroque art. Today, it stands as a testament to Caravaggio's innovative spirit and his profound influence on the development of Western art, offering viewers a deeply humanistic portrayal of mythological subject matter through the lens of groundbreaking artistic techniques.
