Sleeping Putto 1627 - 1700

"Sleeping Putto" is a Baroque-era painting by Guido Reni depicting a cherubic figure, or putto, in a state of peaceful slumber. The painting, created between 1627 and 1700, showcases Reni's mastery of light and shadow, and the cherub's delicate features and plump form evoke a sense of innocence and tranquility. The putto's relaxed pose and soft, rounded features, emphasize the cherubic figure's youthful beauty and vulnerability. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
