EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century print, titled "Cherubs with Grapes," is a stunning example of the allegorical art produced by the renowned French artistic school, Ecole Francaise. The image, reminiscent of the Rococo era, features a circular composition of cherubs, or amorini, engaged in socializing and enjoying the bounty of nature. The cherubs, with their angelic faces and naked bodies, are depicted in various poses, some reaching out to pluck ripe grapes from the heavy clusters hanging from the clouds above. The use of gouache and watercolor on paper adds to the vibrant and rich colors of the fruit and the ethereal quality of the clouds. The cherubs are framed by intricate gilding, adding to the ornate and decorative nature of the piece. The putti and putto, or male and female cherubs, are often used in allegorical art to represent concepts such as love, joy, and the passage of time. This print, with its charming and playful depiction of these mythological beings, would have been a cherished addition to any 19th century French home. The print is a testament to the artistic heritage of France and the enduring appeal of the Rococo style. It is currently housed in the Musee Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
