S. Bennet

S. Bennet is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

English printmaker in the early 1800s, S. Bennet carved mythological scenes after known paintings so collectors could hang dramatic stories at home. Two prints in this set, Leda and the Swan and Venus and Cupid, show swirling ink lines that make marble walls feel soft and skin glow like pearl. Tap Venus and Cupid to see how the same plate was re-inked in different colors to freshen the story for different buyers.
