About the work
In architectural surroundings reminiscent of a stage decor, people revel and make music in the name of love. Putti hold up fluttering draperies and flower garlands. In the middle of the depiction, the god of love Cupid himself stands on a pedestal. From there, a dazzling light floods the entire scene, whereby the figures in the foreground are little more than silhouettes.
