Cherubs Playing with a Swan 1672 - 1673

"Cherubs Playing with a Swan" is a Baroque-style fountain sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Tuby I, created between 1672 and 1673. The fountain depicts three cherubs interacting with a swan in a playful manner, atop a multi-tiered base reminiscent of classical architecture. The cherubs, with their delicate features and winged forms, add a sense of whimsy and lightness to the sculpture. The intricate details of the fountain's base, including the sculpted leaves and geometric patterns, showcase Tuby's skillful craftsmanship. This fountain is a testament to the Baroque period's penchant for elaborate ornamentation and the playful depiction of mythology.
