Cupido Dormiente, also known as Sleeping Cupid, is a renowned Baroque painting by the Italian artist Guido Reni, created circa 1610. This artwork is emblematic of Reni's mastery in depicting mythological subjects with a delicate and refined approach that was characteristic of his style. The painting portrays Cupid, the Roman god of love, often identified with his Greek counterpart Eros, in a state of serene slumber, a theme that has been recurrent in the history of art.

The work is executed in oil on canvas and is notable for its soft, diffused lighting and the gentle, almost ethereal rendering of the young god's features and form. Reni's Cupido Dormiente captures the innocence and tranquility of the sleeping deity, a stark contrast to the often mischievous and dynamic representations of Cupid in other artistic works. The figure is typically depicted with his attributes: the bow and arrows that symbolize the power of love, lying dormant as the god himself rests.

Guido Reni (1575–1642), a prominent figure of the Bolognese School, was celebrated for his graceful and idealized figures, which were influenced by his study of classical sculpture and the works of Raphael. Reni's paintings were highly sought after by patrons across Europe, and his interpretation of classical and religious themes contributed significantly to the Baroque movement.

Cupido Dormiente is a quintessential example of Reni's ability to blend classical ideals with the emerging Baroque sensibility. The painting's composition, with its emphasis on harmony and balance, reflects the classical influence, while the use of chiaroscuro and the intimate portrayal of the subject are distinctly Baroque in nature.

The painting has been held in various private and public collections over the centuries, and its provenance reflects the high regard in which Reni's work has been held by collectors and connoisseurs. Today, Cupido Dormiente is recognized as a masterpiece of Baroque art and continues to be the subject of scholarly study and admiration by art enthusiasts around the world.
