19th Century Patinated Terracotta Group Of Putti Playing At A Fountain, An Allegory Of Water

Group terracotta patinated 19th century Putti playing at the allegory fountain of water

What if you fell back into the joy and innocence of childhood thanks to this terracotta allegory?

Created in the 19th century, this terracotta group was fashioned in a neo-baroque and late rococo style. It evokes the game in a figurative way: three innocent children with the appearance of cherubs (putti) playing while washing themselves, around a vase pouring water abundantly, evoking a fountain or a source of water.

Soft allegory to evoke water and its benefits (to clean oneself, to hydrate, to play), this group is a true ode to the feats of human engineering regarding the most vital resource for man: water. Without it, nothing thrives, nothing grows. Our skin needs it to wash away the impurities and dirt of everyday life.

Throughout the history of humanity, water has been a difficult resource to manage, contain and use. This allegory perfectly expresses the humanity that manages to make of this vital and difficult resource a goal achieved mastery, especially in the nineteenth century: that of being able to wash oneself, play with it, which is a great luxury at that time, but above all a possibility. Children represent Men, of whom we are the children of Nature, and whose resources we play with.
