Putti (Cherub)
A putti, often referred to as a cherub, is a representation of a chubby, often naked child with wings, commonly found in art and sculpture. These figures are typically associated with love, innocence, and divine presence, frequently appearing in Renaissance and Baroque art. They are often depicted in playful poses, symbolizing joy and the beauty of childhood.
In religious contexts, putti are often linked to angels and are used to convey spiritual themes. They can be seen in various artworks, including paintings, frescoes, and decorative elements in architecture. Their charming appearance has made them enduring symbols in both sacred and secular art.
