EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of innocence and mischief in "Two Putti" by Matteo di Giovanni. Created between 1490 and 1510, these cherubic figures are depicted with exquisite detail and vibrant colors. The two putti, or cherubs, stand side by side, their full-length naked bodies symbolizing purity. With their delicate wings spread wide, they resemble angelic beings from another realm. One of them holds a bow and arrow while gesturing towards the other putto, as if engaging in a playful game or perhaps even preparing for war. The use of arrows and weaponry adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. It hints at the duality of human nature - both innocent children capable of love and affection but also potential agents of destruction. The juxtaposition between these seemingly contradictory elements invites viewers to contemplate deeper philosophical concepts. Matteo di Giovanni's mastery is evident in his attention to detail; every feather on the birds perched nearby is meticulously rendered. The artist's skillful brushwork brings life to each stroke, creating a sense of movement within the stillness captured on panel. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this fifteenth-century masterpiece stands as a testament to Italian Renaissance artistry. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences today, reminding us that even centuries-old works can evoke powerful emotions and provoke thought-provoking discussions about our own humanity.
