The "Meissen Porcelain Group - Venus with Cupids" (also known as "Venus mit Amoretten") is an exquisite porcelain sculpture created in 1765 by Johann Joachim Kaendler, the master modeller at Meissen. The group depicts the Roman goddess ""Venus"", symbolizing love and beauty, accompanied by a number of ""cherubic cupids"". The playful cupids interact with Venus in a charming and tender manner, often with arrows and other playful symbols of love, embodying the light-hearted spirit of Rococo art.
This group was crafted at the famous ""Meissen Manufactory"", known for its superior porcelain craftsmanship. The design by Kaendler is a masterful display of the era's focus on delicate details, soft pastel colors, and intricate, flowing forms. Each figure in the composition is carefully sculpted, with attention to texture and facial expressions, which is characteristic of Meissen’s exceptional quality.
The piece bears the ""blue crossed swords"" mark, a signature of authenticity and a symbol of Meissen's prestigious legacy. Additionally, the model is identified with the catalog number ""A65"", which classifies this group among the manufactory’s renowned works.
The "Venus with Cupids" group is considered a perfect example of the Rococo style, renowned for its elegance, playfulness, and refined beauty. It continues to be an iconic and highly collectible piece among lovers of fine porcelain and 18th-century European art.
