"Putti Games"
Flemish school from the late 16th century
Oil on panel
Measurements 77 x 34 cm, frame 88 x 46 cm
This fascinating painting on panel, depicting a large group of cherubs playing festively, is truly joyful and particularly amusing.
It is a hymn to the joy of living, to lightheartedness and innocence, well represented by 14 putti who are having fun holding hands and allowing, with their evolutions, the author's pictorial skills to be expressed.
A remarkable play of light and shadows highlights the naked bodies of the little protagonists portrayed in all positions with the different anatomies reproduced in an incredibly realistic way.
It is a Flemish work from the Dutch area executed between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century.
The elongated size allows you to enjoy the sight of the putti arranged in a horizontal line allowing the author to paint them in a linear and extremely elegant way as if it were a garland.
It is a painting of excellent quality and extremely pleasant.
The panel, in oak wood, is in excellent condition already fixed with reinforcements in the joints.
The pictorial layer is perfectly preserved.
A beautiful golden frame with a Renaissance motif completes the work.
A certificate of authenticity (FIMA) is issued.
