Copy after a Sculpture of the Sleeping Eros Based on an Antique Model (from Cassiano dal Pozzo's 'Paper Museum'). Artist: Giovanni Angelo Canini (Italian, Rome 1615-1666 Rome). Dimensions: 8 9/16 x 12 5/8in. (21.7 x 32.1cm). Date: ca. 1630.The traditional attribution to Canini is not implausible, for the artist made a specialty of drawn copies of classical antiquities and his manner of articulating some anatomical details such as the hands of the child are not dissimilar to his prepartory drawings for paintings. An ambitious project for a corpus of classical antiquities commissioned by Colbert for Louis XIV was cut short by Canini's death, though a good many drawings by Canini after medals and cameos were engraved by Etienne Picart (Images des héros et des grands hommes de l'antiquité dessinées sur des médailles, des pierres antiques et autres anciens monuments par Jean-Ange Canini, gravées par Picart Le Romain, Amsterdam, 1731).In contrast, Eloisa Dodero (Warburg Institute - Cassiano
