EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Putto with a Dolphin" transports us back to the Renaissance era in Florence, Italy. Created by the renowned artist Andrea del Verrocchio in 1565, this masterpiece can be found adorning the Palazzo Vecchio (Palazzo della Signoria). The sculpture depicts a cherubic putto, or angelic child, playfully interacting with a dolphin. The intricate details of their forms and expressions showcase Verrocchio's exceptional skill as a sculptor during this period. Placed on the Terrace of Juno within the Palazzo Vecchio, this artwork adds an element of whimsy and enchantment to its surroundings. The juxtaposition of heavenly beings alongside earthly creatures symbolizes harmony between humans and nature. Verrocchio's choice to depict a dolphin is significant as it represents intelligence, gracefulness, and friendship. The putto's joyous expression captures the innocence and wonder that often accompanies encounters with wildlife. Photographed by A© Raffaello Bencini, this print allows us to appreciate every delicate detail of Verrocchio's creation while also showcasing the beauty captured through Bencini's lens. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the timeless allure of Renaissance art and how it continues to inspire awe centuries later.
