Metal Print : Two Putti, 1700s. Creator: Unknown
Metal Prints from Heritage Images
Two Putti, 1700s. Creator: Unknown
Two Putti, 1700s. This painting depicts two playful putti, or cherub figures. One blows his horn into the others ears; the other covers his ears to protect them. Now obscured by discoloured varnish, the painting once had a greenish-blue background, now a mossy green. The pink flesh tones have turned bronze and the gray horn is now a brassy colour. In 1519, Correggio painted playful putti in 16 oval ceiling frescoes in the Camera di San Paolo in Parma, Italy. These frescoes were commissioned by the Abbess Gioanna da Piacenza, as the room was her private quarters in the Benedictine nunnery of San Paolo. After the abbesss death, the house was strictly closed to the public for nearly two centuries. Thus Two Putti may be modeled after sketches of the frescoes made during the Abbesss lifetime, or, after the house reopened to the public, the artist may have admired the frescoes directly and modeled these putti after Correggios originals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting titled "Two Putti" from the 1700s. Created by an unknown artist, this piece depicts two mischievous cherub figures engaging in playful antics. One of the putti is seen blowing a horn into the other's ears, while the latter covers them protectively. Over time, discolored varnish has obscured parts of this artwork, altering its original appearance. The once vibrant greenish-blue background now resembles a mossy green hue. Additionally, the pink flesh tones have transformed into bronze shades, and even the gray horn has taken on a brassy color. Interestingly, this painting draws inspiration from Correggio's work in 1519 when he painted lively putti in oval ceiling frescoes for the Camera di San Paolo in Parma, Italy. These frescoes were commissioned by Abbess Gioanna da Piacenza as part of her private quarters within the Benedictine nunnery of San Paolo. After her passing, access to these frescoes was restricted for almost two centuries before being opened to the public again. It is possible that "Two Putti" was either based on sketches made during Abbess Gioanna da Piacenza's lifetime or directly inspired by Correggio's original works after they became accessible to visitors once more. This exquisite oil-on-canvas painting is housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art and belongs to Heritage Art/Heritage Images collection - an invaluable treasure showcasing art heritage from around the world.
