EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork by Dionisio Calvaert, depicting the beauty and imagination of the 16th century Baroque era. The image features a winged putto, or cherub, riding gracefully on both a sea horse and a lion. Inspired by Raphael's original masterpiece, this piece captures the essence of angelic beings intertwined with mythical creatures. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of pen and brown ink over black chalk or charcoal. Touches of red chalk add depth and dimension to the composition while white gouache highlights bring forth an ethereal quality. The use of blue paper as the canvas adds an intriguing contrast to the grey tones present throughout. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic brilliance that flourished during the Dutch Golden Age. The boyish charm exuded by the putto evokes innocence and playfulness, while simultaneously showcasing Calvaert's skillful rendering of human form. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino's enduring influence on artists across centuries. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries - it transcends time and place. With its fusion of animalistic elements and divine figures, this piece invites us into a world where imagination reigns supreme. It is through works like these that we can truly appreciate art's ability to captivate our senses and transport us into realms beyond our own reality.
