EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Putto with dolphin" is a masterpiece created by the renowned Italian artist Andrea del Verrocchio in approximately 1478. Displayed at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, this exquisite artwork showcases Verrocchio's exceptional skill and attention to detail. The sculpture depicts a charming putto, a representation of Cupid or Eros from Greek mythology, playfully interacting with a dolphin. The delicate carving captures the grace and movement of both figures, as if frozen in time. The smoothness of the bronze adds an ethereal quality to the piece. Verrocchio's mastery shines through every aspect of this work. From the intricate facial features to the meticulously crafted drapery that adorns the putto's body, each element demonstrates his technical prowess and artistic vision. This sculpture not only exemplifies Verrocchio's talent but also represents an important period in art history known as Quattrocento or Renaissance. It reflects the revival of classical themes and techniques during this era while showcasing Verrocchio's unique interpretation. As we gaze upon this print captured by photographer Luisa Ricciarini, we are transported back to fifteenth-century Italy—a time when mythological characters like Cupid held great significance in art and culture. This image serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and invites us to appreciate its beauty for generations to come.
