EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two Putti with Shield Inscribed Pier Santi, 16th century" takes us back to the rich heritage of Italian art in the 16th century. Created by an unknown artist, it showcases two angelic cherubs known as putti, holding a shield inscribed with the name Pier Santi. The image is steeped in religious symbolism and heraldry. The presence of crosses and the coat of arms on the shield indicate its connection to Catholicism and Christian faith. It evokes a sense of devotion and spirituality that was prevalent during this time period. The cherubs themselves are beautifully depicted, their innocent expressions capturing our attention. With their wings spread wide, they exude a sense of divine grace and purity. These cherubim were often associated with heavenly messengers or guardians in Christian iconography. The inclusion of Saint Peter adds another layer of significance to this artwork. As one of Jesus' apostles and considered the first Pope by Roman Catholics, he holds great importance within Catholic tradition. The mention of Simon Cephas (Peter's original name) further emphasizes his role as a key figure in Christianity. Overall, this woodcut print offers us a glimpse into Italy's artistic past while also reminding us of the enduring power and beauty found within religious imagery from centuries ago.
