Pair Of Paintings Depicting Cherubs – Second Half Of The 18th Century. Venetian School
A pair of oil-on-canvas paintings depicting cherubs from the second half of the 18th century. Venetian school.
Set in slender gilded frames, the paintings depict two cherubs immersed in a celestial, cloud-filled atmosphere. The first cherub is depicted nude, lying down and asleep on a bed of clouds; he has one arm raised above his head, suggesting that he is in a deep sleep. On his chest are flowering rose branches, which allegorically symbolize Cupid’s love and repose.
The second cherub is depicted awake, also reclining on the clouds, while he brings his finger to his mouth as a sign of silence and holds a bow in his other hand, suggesting the secrecy of love’s games.
