"After. [Cupid Refusing Love to Desire]" is an engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, an Italian engraver who gained significant recognition in the 18th century for his works in the rococo style. Born in Florence in 1727, Bartolozzi was known for his delicate technique and his ability to capture the essence of the original paintings he translated into prints. This particular piece is indicative of his skill in rendering the subtleties of emotion and interaction between mythological figures, a common theme in the art of the period.

The engraving depicts a scene from classical mythology in which Cupid, the Roman god of love, is portrayed in the act of refusing or denying love to Desire. The artwork captures a moment of tension and emotional complexity, as Desire, often personified with attributes of yearning and longing, confronts the youthful deity who wields the power to inspire love in mortals and gods alike.

Bartolozzi's work is characterized by its fine stipple technique, which creates a range of tonal effects that lend a softness and depth to the image. This method was particularly well-suited to capturing the textures and nuances of flesh and fabric, as seen in the figures of Cupid and Desire. The engraving would have been produced after an original painting or design by another artist, as was common practice at the time, with Bartolozzi's role being to interpret and execute the composition in print form.

The date of creation for "After. [Cupid Refusing Love to Desire]" is not specified, but Bartolozzi's most active period was during his time in England, where he moved in 1764 and where he produced a great number of works until his departure for Lisbon in 1802. His engravings were highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, contributing to the dissemination of the visual culture of the period and influencing the taste for classical and mythological subjects in art.

As a notable work by Francesco Bartolozzi, "After. [Cupid Refusing Love to Desire]" exemplifies the artist's contribution to the art of engraving and the European tradition of printmaking. It remains an important piece for study within the context of 18th-century art and the visual interpretation of classical mythology.
