    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This bronze statue of a sleeping Eros, the Roman god of love, is at the pinnacle of Hellenistic sculpture work. The Hellenistic period ushered in the "accurate characterisation of age," which this sculpture exemplifies through the depiction of Eros as a baby. The importance of this statue can be understood through the sheer number of replicas of it – the Roman period was rich with sleeping baby Eros statues throughout public spaces. This sculpture also reframes the narrative around Eros; his softness and vulnerability as depicted here is contrasted with the powerful and cruel characteristic he displays in the poetry of the time.
