An impressive pair of canvases depicting two distinct scenes with winged cherubs or putti. The figures are presented in tondos, centered on the canvas, framed by floral garlands and crowned with a large bow. One tondo shows a pair of cherubs, one looking directly at the viewer and the other kissing the first's cheek. In the second tondo, a single putto walks blindfolded, carrying a torch. Both are dynamic compositions with soft lines and delicate colors, characterized by their expressive staging.
Signed by D. Berthault and dated 1922, they belong to the Art Nouveau period. The artistic approach to the use of putti in artworks during Art Nouveau was completely different from that of the Baroque. At that time, they were primarily used as decorative elements, always integrated into floral and vegetal designs. Putti were reinvented with a more ornamental and less ornate character, integrated into an ornamental pattern with an overall artistic narrative, such as a boiserie. The image of Cupid stems from the evolution of Cupid/Eros, which during the Renaissance was transformed into putti. Cupid was the Roman god of love, son of Venus and Mars.
A great opportunity to acquire two refined works of art with great aesthetic value!
