Putti are painted or sculpted figures in the form of little creatures whose round shapes and laughing faces provide a thousand resources for the imagination. The Florentine Renaissance called them spiritelli. Naked and sometimes winged, the putto is represented in a multitude of postures and activities, alone or in numbers, and may be associated with other ornamental motifs. Putti are mainly found on monuments from the Italian Renaissance to the end of the Baroque period. - Weight: 13.82 kg - Shipping unavailable - Region: France - Sizes: H 310 mm x L 320 mm - At first glance: good condition
