EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century print, created by the esteemed French art institution, Ecole Francaise, captures the ethereal beauty and playful charm of cherub musicians in a stunning work of art from the Rococo era. The circular composition showcases three cherubs, each engaged in the playful pursuit of music. The cherub on the left, with a rosy cheek and mischievous grin, strums a harp with delicate fingers, while the one in the center, a cellist, gracefully bows over his instrument, a cello, with an intense concentration. The third cherub, a harpist, gazes up at his heavenly audience with a proud and confident expression. The cherubs, or amorini, are depicted in their natural state, their nudity symbolizing the pure and innocent joy of music. The use of gouache and watercolor on paper lends a soft, ethereal quality to the image, while the gilding adds a touch of opulence and sophistication. The intricate details of the musicians' features, their instruments, and the delicate circular frame are a testament to the skill and artistry of the French School. This cherubic trio, with their musical instruments, adds a whimsical touch to any space, be it a private collection, museum, or Parisian musee. The concept of cherub musicians has been a popular subject in art since ancient times, and this print, from the 1850s, is a beautiful example of the enduring appeal of this concept. The cherubs' joyful expression and the intricate details of the artwork make this print a true treasure of heritage art, a concept that continues to inspire and delight art lovers to this day.
