Cupid Pictures
In many Cupid pictures, the god of love is represented as chasing girls. He is a symbol of the love which blossoms, but young girls are afraid of this new feeling, so they try to reject the little winged boy.
As you can see, many of these paintings belong to William Bouguereau, who was a French academic painter. He drew inspiration from mythology and in painted in an almost photo-realistic style. No wonder he rendered the subject of Cupid and young girls in so many paintings!
