'''Cupid Sleeping''' is a notable work by Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino (1503–1540), an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active during the Renaissance. Created circa 1555, this artwork is a testament to Parmigianino's mastery of form and his exploration of the Mannerist style, which is characterized by elongated proportions, stylized poses, and a sophisticated elegance.

The painting depicts Cupid, the Roman god of love, in a moment of vulnerability and repose. The choice of subject reflects the Renaissance fascination with classical mythology and its allegorical potential. Parmigianino's rendition of Cupid is imbued with a dreamy, almost ethereal quality, as the young god is shown asleep, possibly exhausted from his amorous endeavors. The figure's delicate features and smooth skin are rendered with a softness that enhances the sense of tranquility and intimacy in the scene.

While the exact dimensions and current location of ''Cupid Sleeping'' may not be well-documented, the work is significant for its artistic merit and its representation of Parmigianino's contribution to the Mannerist movement. The painting is an example of the artist's ability to convey complex emotional states and to manipulate form for expressive effect, which had a lasting impact on the development of European art.

As a painter, Parmigianino was known for his innovative techniques and his influence on subsequent generations of artists. ''Cupid Sleeping'' exemplifies his skill in composition and his delicate handling of color and light, which combine to create a sense of harmony and grace. The artwork remains an important piece within Parmigianino's oeuvre, offering insight into the themes and stylistic preoccupations of the mid-16th century Italian art.
