EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite Caryatid figures and a pair of Putti standing on a globe, both created in the 17th century. The Caryatid print (recto) depicts a female figure serving as an architectural support in the form of a column, a common ancient Greek and Roman architectural feature. The intricate details of her drapery and facial expression are skillfully rendered in black chalk and brown wash on tan laid paper. On the reverse side (verso), we find Three Sketches: Two Caryatids and a pair of Putti Standing on Globe. Here, the artists have used pen and brown ink with brush and brown wash over traces of black chalk on cream wove card. The Putti, mythological infants, are depicted standing on a globe, symbolizing the power and influence of the classical world. The provenance of these prints is unknown, but they are remnants of a rich artistic and cultural heritage. They are now part of the extensive collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where they continue to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. These prints are a testament to the enduring appeal of ancient Greek and Roman art and the skill of the artists who sought to capture its essence in the 17th century. They offer a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the history, concepts, and scenes that have shaped our understanding of art and culture.
