Black Chalk Underdrawing Bottom Composition Outlined Cream Paper Granada Lined Spanish Strip Traces Alonso Cano
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a world of religious devotion and artistic mastery. The image showcases an exquisite pen drawing titled "Three Putti Holding Cross Two Male Saints" by Alonso Cano, a renowned Spanish artist from Granada who lived between 1601 and 1667. The composition is delicately outlined on cream paper, with traces of black chalk underdrawing adding depth and texture. Although lightly foxed over time, the artwork's beauty remains intact. Measuring 6 x 8 inches (152 x 203 cm), it is a testament to Cano's skill in capturing intricate details within a relatively small space. At the center of the piece stand three putti, angelic figures often depicted in Renaissance art symbolizing innocence or divine intervention. They tenderly hold a cross aloft, emphasizing their role as messengers of faith. Flanking them are two male saints whose identities remain unknown but exude an aura of solemnity and spiritual enlightenment. This print invites us into Cano's world, where his masterful technique brings these ethereal beings to life before our eyes. Their presence evokes contemplation and reverence for both the divine and human spirit. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art, we cannot help but be moved by its timeless beauty and profound symbolism.
