Bronze Figure Of A Winged Putto (probably Eros) Circa 1550–1600
Located in Bilzen, BE
"Bronze Figure Of A Winged Putto (probably Eros) Circa 1550–1600"
North Italian Renaissance Bronze Figure of a Winged Putto (Possibly Eros)
Attributed to a Paduan or Venetian workshop, ca. 1550–1600
Cast bronze with dark brown patina and signs of verdigris; formerly winged; mounted on a threaded base; both hands drilled for original attributes.
Height: 10.6 cm
Width (hand to hand): 8.5 cm
This finely cast bronze figure represents a dancing or airborne putto, likely an allegorical figure such as Eros or a cherubic spirit, originally intended as a functional decorative element — possibly for a lamp, inkwell, or ceremonial vessel. The figure is modeled with dynamic balance, standing on one leg with both arms extended, and was once fitted with separately cast wings, now missing, as evidenced by deep, symmetrical sockets on the upper back.
The facial modeling is serene and idealized, with softly rounded cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and structured curls in a distinctly Renaissance style, reminiscent of the North Italian tradition of Andrea Riccio...
