"Amorino Dormiente," also known as "Sleeping Cupid," is a Baroque-era painting by the Italian artist Massimo Stanzione. Created in the 17th century, this artwork is a notable example of Stanzione's skill in capturing the delicate interplay of light and shadow, a technique that reflects the influence of Caravaggio, whose style was dominant during the period. The painting depicts a young Cupid, the Roman god of love, in a peaceful slumber, embodying the innocence and vulnerability that often accompany the theme of love in Baroque art.

Massimo Stanzione (1585–1656) was an Italian painter active in Naples during the Baroque period. He was a contemporary of artists such as Artemisia Gentileschi and Jusepe de Ribera and is often associated with the Neapolitan school of painting. Stanzione's work is characterized by its dramatic use of light, rich color palette, and the emotional intensity of the figures he portrayed. "Amorino Dormiente" is a testament to his ability to convey a sense of tranquility and softness, contrasting with the often tumultuous and dynamic compositions of his peers.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is remarkable for its realistic depiction of the young god, with detailed attention to the textures of skin, hair, and the fabrics that surround the figure. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensional quality of the subject and contributes to the overall sense of depth in the composition.

"Amorino Dormiente" has been admired for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of classical themes through a Baroque lens. The work is part of a larger tradition of depicting mythological subjects that was prevalent among European artists of the time. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Massimo Stanzione and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of 17th-century Italian art.
