Groupe de deux angelots (l'un regardant de face et l'autre vers la gauche) 1605 - 1650

This etching, "Groupe de deux angelots (l'un regardant de face et l'autre vers la gauche)" (Group of Two Putti, One Facing the Front and the Other to the Left), was created by Jean Morin between 1605 and 1650. The artwork depicts two cherubic figures, or putti, in a dynamic pose as they soar through the clouds. One putti holds a laurel wreath, a symbol of victory and triumph, while the other appears to grasp onto the first. The detailed etching, rendered in fine lines, captures the delicate features and ethereal quality of the cherubs, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the Baroque era. The piece is a fine example of Morin's mastery in etching and a testament to the enduring appeal of cherubic imagery in art.
