THE ANCIENT GREEK SCULPTURE OF EROS CAPTURED IN PURITY OF LOVE.


 Eros, the ancient Greek god of love is captured in this exquisite sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, sleeping peacefully. 

Possibly, it is a religious sculpture to honour the gods of ancient Greece.  One of the few scultpures survived from antiquity to honour the gods of ancient Greece this statue depicting the image of a plump baby in a relaxed pose.

The statue is the finest example of its kind, replicas of which are found in the Hellinistic and Roman periods which decorated villa garderns.
