EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Three putti before a large garland, the one in the middle rides an ostrich". Created by the renowned Master of the Die during the 16th century, this piece is part of a series of tapestries commissioned for Leo X, Pope from 1513 to 1521. In this enchanting scene, three cherubic figures known as putti are depicted amidst an intricate garland. The central putto steals the spotlight as he fearlessly rides atop an elegant ostrich. Their angelic expressions and playful demeanor add a touch of whimsy to this masterpiece. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring; every feather on the majestic ostrich and each delicate flower within the garland is meticulously rendered. The artist's skillful engraving technique brings depth and texture to this monochromatic composition. This artwork not only exemplifies Italian Renaissance artistry but also reflects nature's beauty intertwined with human imagination. It transports viewers to another time and place where mythical creatures like winged cherubs ride exotic birds through lush gardens. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print preserves Giovanni da Udine's incredible design for generations to come. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide, reminding us of our enduring fascination with both earthly wonders and heavenly beings.
