'Venus caressing Cupid', a proof impression by Carlo Antonio Porporati (Volvera, Turin 1741 – Turin 1816), after Pompeo Batoni, late eighteenth century.
Description: Carlo Antonio Porporati was a classic line-engraver. In 1768 He was sent to train in Paris - with the economical support of the King of Sardinia. In 1773 He became member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et Sculpture and he returned to Turin as professor of engraving, where he lived up to his death in 1816.

The etching 'Venus caressing Cupid' is after a painting belonging to the Russian ambassador in Turin (1783) Nikolaj Borisovič Jusupov (Moscow 1726 – 1831). The etching is dedicated to the ambassador who bought the painting in Rome in 1784 and moved it to Turin.

The book 'Japanese Export Lacquer' includes a picture of a lacquer and pearlshell on copper tobacco box with a scene, inscribed Venus caressant l'amour made after our print. The box is conserved in the Kobe City Museum, Kobe, Japan.

The engraving is published in:

1) 'San Pietroburgo 1703-1825 - Arte di corte dal Museo dell'Ermitage', Milan, Berenice, 1991, page 428
2) 'L'Accademia Albertina di Torino', Torino, Istituto Bancario San Paolo, 1982, page 21, fig. 13
3) Cristiaan Jorg, 'Japanese Export Lacquer', Amsterdam, Hotei Publishing, 2005, page 62, fig. 103.

The frame, a gilded 'Salvator Rosa', dates from the same period as the etching itself.
