EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Two Putti Supporting a Torch" created between 1650 and 1700 by an unknown artist. The image depicts two cherubic figures, known as putti, gracefully supporting a torch. These angelic beings are beautifully sculpted in terracotta on slate, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of the Dutch or Flemish school. The artwork emanates a sense of ethereal beauty and elegance, typical of the artistic style prevalent during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The intricate relief carving adds depth to the composition, highlighting every delicate detail of the putti's features. Though its creator remains anonymous, this masterpiece is housed in the renowned Art Institute Chicago. As part of their extensive collection spanning various periods and styles, this work represents both Netherlandish heritage art and European painting and sculpture. The symbolism behind these cherubs supporting a torch sparks curiosity about their intended concept. Perhaps it signifies enlightenment or serves as an allegory for knowledge guiding humanity through darkness. Regardless of its exact meaning, this enchanting artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. Its presence within the Art Institute Chicago allows visitors to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance within the broader context of art history.
