EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a stunning stucco sculpture by Giacomo Serpotta, located in the Rosary Oratory in Palermo. The artwork titled "Two putti playing" showcases the artist's mastery of late Baroque, Baroque, and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The two putti depicted in this sculpture are engaged in an enchanting scene of playfulness and joy. With their delicate gestures and expressive faces, they seem to come alive before our eyes. Their intricate hairdos and fashionable clothing reflect the artistic trends of their time. Serpotta's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every nuance of these young figures' bodies. Despite being nude, there is a sense of innocence that emanates from them, making them appear both angelic and human at once. The composition exudes a sense of harmony as the putti interact with each other through their instruments. One holds a flute while the other plucks at strings on what appears to be a small harp-like instrument. Through this musical communication, they create an atmosphere filled with beauty and grace. Dating back to 1714-1717, this masterpiece has stood the test of time for over three centuries. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing not only the artistry but also preserving its historical significance. This image transports us back to Europe during the late Baroque period when such sculptures adorned sacred spaces like oratories. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human civilization throughout history - bridging cultures across millennia for generations to appreciate and admire.
