EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print titled "Angels and Putti" is a mesmerizing work of art that showcases the anonymous creator's exceptional talent. The image portrays a group of cherubs, also known as putti, gracefully flying amidst fluffy clouds in the heavens above. With their arms raised in an angelic gesture, these winged beings exude a sense of divine beauty and ethereal grace. The artist skillfully employed pen and brown ink over traces of black chalk to bring this celestial scene to life on brown paper. The delicate details are further enhanced with touches of white gouache, creating an enchanting contrast against the warm color palette. This Italian masterpiece can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it stands as a testament to the rich heritage and artistic brilliance of the 17th century. The composition evokes a profound sense of spirituality and religious devotion while capturing the imagination with its dreamlike quality. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to another realm where angels freely roam among us. Their gestures invite contemplation on matters beyond our earthly existence, reminding us of our connection to something greater than ourselves. With its timeless appeal and exquisite craftsmanship, "Angels and Putti" continues to inspire awe and wonderment for all who have the privilege to behold it at one of the world's most renowned museums dedicated to preserving humanity's artistic treasures - The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
