Twee fotoreproducties van schilderijen van scenes met putti omringd door bloemen, door P. J. Carpey before 1881

This photographic print by Charles Claesen, created before 1881, features two photoreproductions of paintings depicting scenes with putti surrounded by flowers. The prints, likely created as part of a series called "Tableaux Décoratifs," are framed by ornate floral arrangements, emphasizing the decorative nature of the original paintings. The inclusion of putti, playful cherubic figures often found in Renaissance and Baroque art, suggests a theme of innocence, joy, and the beauty of nature. The image provides a glimpse into the artistic tastes of the late 19th century, with its focus on decorative subjects and fine craftsmanship.
