# Cupid Releasing Two Doves [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WEST, Benjamin]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on panel, 143 x 100 cm ## Commentary This well-preserved panel is among West's finest mythological pictures, of which he painted no less than 48 eight throughout his career. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798, but West subsequently revised it on two later occasions in 1803 and 1808, a practice he regularly engaged in after 1800. ## Related artworks - [Agrippina Landing at Brundisium with the Ashes of Germanicus]() - [Edward III Crossing the Somme]() - [Joseph Banks]() - [Musidora and her Two Companions]() - [Omnia Vincit Amor or The Power of Love in the Three Elements \(detail\)]() - [Omnia Vincit Amor or The Power of Love in the Three Elements]() - [Portrait of Colonel Guy Johnson]() - [Portrait of George, Prince of Wales, and Prince Frederick, later Duke of York]() - [Portrait of Prince William and His Elder Sister, Princess Sophia]() - [Self-Portrait]() - [The Battle of La Hogue]() - [The Burghers of Calais]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
