Blog #5: Love

This painting describes a young woman's first encounter with love. 
love is painted as the cupid with wings and a bow approaching the maiden.
this art work also very detailed with vibrant colors, the more you spend time 
looking at it the more you see.
I think it portrays love as something that one day just comes naturally, as a beautiful figure in a garden which is unrealistic, but beautiful.
