CHERUBIM WITH FLOWERS- Italian School - Italian Figurative Oil painting

2002

About the Item

Cherubim with flowers - Oil on canvas cm.80x100 by Giulio Di Sotto, Italy, 2002. Gold leaf gilded wooden frame available on request This wonderful oil on canvas represents two putti playing with a composition of flowers and fruit as a background. The contrast of the chiaroscuro is clear, with the two cherubs standing out against the dark background, a pictorial expedient that reinforces the three-dimensionality and emphasizes the volume of the bodies, illuminated by a beam of intense light. In this painting we note the pictorial influence that Caravaggio had in the art of Giulio Di Sotto. In fact, his particular pictorial style and his figurative repertoire testify evident affinities with our beautiful canvas. In particular, it could be inserted in the vast production that the painter dedicates to the theme of the cherub of his career.
