EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning stucco-work sculpture by the talented artist Giacomo Serpotta. The artwork, titled "Putto on the shoulders of another putto" can be found in the Rosary Oratory in Palermo, Italy. The sculpture showcases two cherubic figures, known as putti, engaging in an enchanting gesture. One putto is perched atop the other's shoulders, creating a playful and dynamic composition. Their intricate details are brought to life through Serpotta's mastery of stucco-work. Dating back to 1714-1717 during the late Baroque period, this masterpiece represents a harmonious blend of different artistic styles and periods. Influences from Renaissance-Baroque can be observed in its design elements. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, providing us with a glimpse into both the artwork's historical significance and its enduring beauty. It serves as a testament to Serpotta's skillful craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we admire this exquisite piece of art captured through Brogi's lens, we are drawn to various aspects within it – from the expressive gestures and delicate instruments held by these celestial beings to their elaborate headdresses and clothing that reflect both civilian and military influences. This image invites us into a world where literature meets fiction; where religious symbolism intertwines with fashion trends; where hairstyles become works of art themselves. It reminds us of our fascination with human form portrayed nude yet tastefully adorned. Through this photograph, we are transported back centuries ago when late Baroque reigned supreme across Europe – an era marked by opulence, grandeur, and artistic brilliance.
