About the Item
This extraordinary pair of Late Renaissance/Early Baroque Genovese Italian wood cherubs is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic finesse of the era. Carved from exquisite wood, these cherubs embody the delicate beauty and spiritual symbolism that characterized the period.
Each cherub is meticulously carved with intricate details that showcase the woodworker's skill and expertise. The natural grain of the wood adds warmth and depth to the sculptures, enhancing their organic appeal. The artist's careful attention to proportion and form is evident in every curve, creating a harmonious balance between the cherubs' plump bodies and finely sculpted features.
The cherubs' facial expressions are captivating, reflecting a sense of divine serenity and joy. Their rosy cheeks, soft smiles, and slightly tilted heads convey a playful innocence and a celestial connection. The artists' mastery in carving the delicate features, such as the expressive eyes and finely sculpted curls, brings the cherubs to life with remarkable realism and charm.
These Genovese wood cherubs exemplify the artistic style and cultural heritage of the Late Renaissance and Early Baroque periods. Genoa, renowned for its flourishing artistic community, produced many skilled woodcarvers who contributed to the rich artistic legacy of the region.
Whether displayed individually or as a pair, these wood cherubs will undoubtedly become focal points of any art collection or interior space. Their timeless beauty and spiritual symbolism make them versatile pieces that can grace a variety of settings, from elegant living rooms to grand hallways or even intimate chapels.
Collectors and enthusiasts of Renaissance and Baroque art will appreciate the historical significance and artistic excellence represented by these Genovese Italian wood cherubs. Their exquisite craftsmanship, expressive details, and the inherent warmth and natural beauty of wood make them coveted pieces that evoke a sense of awe and admiration, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the time.

19th Century Carved Wood Religious Statue of a Saint with Glass Eyes
Located in Victoria, BC
A finely carved wooden statue of a male saint, likely French, dating to the 19th century. This devotional figure is depicted in clerical robes with delicate facial features, inset glass eyes, and original polychrome and gilded finish.

A surviving label beneath the base from Le Garde Meuble Public, Bedel & Cie., 18 Rue St Augustin, Paris offers provenance and suggests the piece was stored or handled professionally, possibly by a religious institution or estate.
