Standing Putto Seen from the Front - Study for the Virgin in Glory with Saints Petronius, Dominic, and Peter Martyr
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink drawing created by the renowned Italian artist, Bartolomeo Passarotti, in the late 16th century. This masterpiece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Passarotti's exceptional skill in capturing the ethereal beauty and grace of the amorini, or cherubs, in this study for a larger work. The drawing depicts a standing putto, or cherub, facing forward, his youthful and serene countenance radiating an aura of innocence and purity. He is dressed in a simple tunic, his tiny hands delicately folded in front of him, and his eyes closed in quiet contemplation. Surrounding the putto are three saints - Petronius, Dominic, and Peter Martyr - each depicted in profile, their haloed heads turned towards the cherub in reverence. The drawing is executed in pen and brown ink on tan laid paper, laid down on ivory laid paper, and is a testament to Passarotti's mastery of the medium. The intricate details of the figures, their drapery, and the subtle shading create a sense of depth and dimension, transporting the viewer to a bygone era of Italian art and culture. This exquisite drawing is a valuable addition to the rich artistic heritage of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the depiction of cherubs and the works of Bartolomeo Passarotti. The drawing's timeless beauty and intricate details continue to captivate and inspire art lovers and scholars alike.
