"Sleeping Cupid" is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created around 1608. The artwork depicts the god of love, Cupid, in a state of slumber, a theme that resonates with the Baroque fascination with human emotion and the portrayal of mythological subjects with a naturalistic approach. Caravaggio's interpretation of Cupid is notably different from the idealized representations of the Renaissance; instead, he presents the figure with a more realistic and earthly charm.

The painting is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique Caravaggio pioneered, which involves the stark contrast between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume. This technique emphasizes the softness of Cupid's youthful skin and the textures of the fabrics and accessories surrounding him. The composition's intimacy and the vulnerability of the sleeping deity are heightened by the dark, undefined background, a characteristic element of Caravaggio's work that focuses the viewer's attention on the central figure.

"Sleeping Cupid" has been the subject of scholarly interest due to its artistic significance and its reflection of Caravaggio's personal life and the cultural context of the time. The painting's history includes its creation in Rome, its various ownerships, and its influence on subsequent artists. As with many of Caravaggio's works, "Sleeping Cupid" has also been examined for its symbolic content, including themes of love's power and the dichotomy between the innocence of sleep and the potential for deception inherent in the figure of Cupid.

The painting is part of the collection at the Pitti Palace in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be an important piece for both art historians and the general public, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Caravaggio's profound impact on the world of art.
