EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print titled "Two heads of cherubs, 1800" by Thomas Cheesman captures the angelic beauty and innocence of two young boys. Created in the 19th century using stipple engraving technique, this black and white artwork showcases Cheesman's remarkable attention to detail. The cherubs' delicate features are reminiscent of the renowned Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, whose influence is evident in their rosy cheeks and captivating expressions. These celestial beings, known as amorini or putti in art history, symbolize purity and divine love. Cheesman masterfully brings these cherubim to life through his intricate engravings. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to their youthful faces, highlighting every contour with precision. This print serves as a testament to Cheesman's skillful craftsmanship and artistic vision. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece has become a cherished part of British heritage. It invites viewers into a world where innocence reigns supreme—a reminder that even amidst chaos and turmoil, there is still room for beauty and serenity. As we gaze upon these cherubic faces frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when childhood was celebrated for its purity. Through Thomas Cheesman's artistry, we can appreciate the timeless allure of these heavenly creatures who continue to captivate our hearts centuries later.
