About the Item

Rome, 17th century Pair of angels Gilded wood, cm h 92 - Base, cm 25 x 40 The pair of putti examined is a masterpiece of the Roman Baroque period, a period of pomp and opulence where the wealthiest citizens were interested in enriching palaces, drawing rooms, and private chapels with precious decorations. The two amiably carved putti rest, the first a knee the second a foot, on a finely carved piece of wood. Their limbs are fleshy and abundant, and the movements are exaggerated played out in the theatricality and dynamism typical of the Baroque: the former leaning on one knee looks straight ahead while with an abrupt twist of his torso he carries a pointing arm toward his right; in the latter the face is directed in the opposite position to that of the arm while the torso remains fixed. Comparisons can be traced with a number of sculptures by some of the most important plasticizers of 17th-century Rome including Antonio Raggi (Vico Morcote, 1624 - Rome, 1686) - whose Amor sacro e amor profano we discern proximity to deli Palazzo dei Musei (Modena), where we clearly find the reference to chubby faces and curly hair - or again in the putti made for the Funeral monument to Giulio Del Corno in the Church of Jesus and Mary and in the Chigi Chapel in Santa Maria della Pace by Ercole Ferrata (Pellio Intelvi, 1610 - Rome 1686) and in the work of Melchiorre Cafà (Vittoriosa, 1636 - Rome, 1667), the Apotheosis of Saint Catherine for the Church of Saint Catherine of Siena in Magnanapoli.
