1619 Cherubs Concepts Correct Course Customary Depicted Putti Unusually Wings
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Unarmed Cherubs - An Unusual Depiction of Putti from the Year 1619 This exquisite print showcases an intriguing and unconventional representation of cherubs, or putti, from the year 1619. In contrast to the traditional depiction of cherubs with both arms and wings, these two cherubs are uniquely illustrated without arms, instead, they are gracefully adorned with wings only. Historically, cherubs are mythological figures often depicted as chubby, winged infants in Western art. They are believed to symbolize happiness, joy, and the innocence of childhood. The inclusion of arms in cherub representations is a common artistic convention, which has been practiced for centuries. However, this print challenges the norm and offers a more anatomically correct interpretation of these divine beings. The absence of arms in this depiction of cherubs is an unusual yet thought-provoking concept. It may be a reflection of the artist's desire to emphasize the winged nature of these beings, or it could be an attempt to explore new artistic possibilities. Regardless of the motivation behind this artistic choice, the result is a captivating and visually striking representation of cherubs that stands out from the more commonly seen depictions. This print, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical evolution of cherub representations and the artistic freedom that existed during this period. The print's intriguing composition and unique perspective make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of art and mythology.
