EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork from the 16th century. The image features a winged female figure, elegantly draped in flowing garments, confidently striding behind a winged putto. The putto twists his body to look over his left shoulder, creating a sense of curiosity and intrigue. This round composition is believed to have been created between 1550-1600 and is inspired by engravings by Cherubino Alberti after Polidoro da Caravaggio. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece. The delicate wings of both figures are beautifully rendered, exuding an ethereal quality that adds to their angelic presence. The female figure carries a staff, symbolizing her authority or power. This exquisite artwork represents the Mannerist style popular during the Renaissance period in Italy. Mannerism was characterized by exaggerated poses and elongated proportions, which can be seen in the twisted posture of the putto. Displayed against a plain background, this circular composition draws all focus onto the two central figures. Their interaction creates an intriguing narrative within the frame. Preserved as part of Zaccaria Mattia's collection at "The Met" museum, this heritage art piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and artistic mastery. It serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of unknown artists who contributed significantly to art history during this era.
