The Three Cherubs (grisaille), Putti with the attributes to Hercules and Mercury, 1767
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Abraham Hendrick van Beesten, we are transported back to the enchanting world of classical mythology. The scene unfolds before our eyes as three cherubs, adorned with delicate wings and mischievous smiles, take center stage. Each cherub represents a different attribute associated with legendary figures from ancient times. One holds a hat symbolizing Mercury, the fleet-footed messenger of the gods. Another wields a club reminiscent of Hercules, the mighty hero known for his incredible strength. And finally, a trompe l'oeil adds an element of surprise and illusion to this already mesmerizing composition. Van Beesten's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The soft grayscale palette used in grisaille technique enhances the ethereal quality of these celestial beings. Their innocent expressions and graceful poses evoke a sense of childlike wonder that transcends time. This exquisite artwork invites us to reflect on themes such as power, communication, and divine intervention - all through the lens of these charming putti. As they hover above us with their symbolic attributes in hand, we can't help but be captivated by their whimsical presence. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Roy Miles Fine Paintings, this Dutch masterpiece reminds us that art has no expiration date; it continues to inspire generations long after its creation.
