EDITORS COMMENTS
Study of putto (Blessing Jesus Child), early 16th century, sanguine on red prepared paper, 360x240 mm, Cesare da Sesto, Biblioteca Reale, Musei Reali, Turin In this photograph taken around 1917 ca. , we are transported back in time to the early 16th century and introduced to a remarkable artwork by Cesare da Sesto. The image captures a study of a putto - a cherubic figure often depicted in Renaissance art symbolizing innocence and divine love. Rendered with exquisite detail on red prepared paper using the sanguine technique, this delicate drawing measures at an impressive scale of 360x240 mm. It is housed within the prestigious Biblioteca Reale in Turin's Musei Reali. The composition showcases the Blessing Jesus Child as he bestows his benediction upon us. The young nude figure emanates purity and grace while embodying an allegory that transcends time and space. This ethereal scene evokes deep spiritual contemplation and invites viewers to reflect on their own connection with divinity. Cesare da Sesto's masterful execution exemplifies the High Renaissance style prevalent during this period in Europe. Drawing influences from both Renaissance and Baroque aesthetics, his work seamlessly merges elements from these distinct periods into one harmonious piece. This photograph not only preserves the beauty of Cesare da Sesto's creation but also serves as a testament to its enduring significance throughout history. Through its depiction of Christian religious themes found within the New Testament, it offers viewers an opportunity to engage with profound concepts such as faith and salvation. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece captured by Anderson from Alinari, let us appreciate how art can transcend centuries and evoke emotions that resonate deeply within our souls.
