Drie putti met wapenrusting 1525 - 1580

"Drie putti met wapenrusting" (Three putti with armor) is an anonymous engraving from the 16th century depicting three cherubic figures interacting with military paraphernalia. The central putto, adorned with a crown, stands prominently, while the others, one dressed in armor and another holding a shield, surround him. The artwork, measuring just 46 mm in height and 31 mm in width, exemplifies the fine detail and artistry of Renaissance engravings. This piece is a testament to the fascination with the human form and the playful depiction of classical motifs during this period. The artwork can be found in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering viewers a glimpse into the artistic ingenuity of the time.
