19th Century European Wood & Gesso Cherub

Item Details

Description

Europe, possibly Italy, ca. 19th century CE. A sweet winged cherub or putti holding a tambourine while floating about the celestial realm, hand carved from wood and painted with gesso, polychrome, and gold leaf upon the wings, armband, and blue waist sash. The angel's visage boasts a milky white, porcelain-like complexion, baby face chubby cheeks, very naturalistic noses and lips, and meticulously delineated wavy brunette coiffure. This tradition of carving angels, saints, and members of the Holy Family has European origins. In Italy such sculptures are called "bultos." This piece was most likely an architectural ornament for a church or private chapel inspired by that tradition. The technical skills required to carve a wooden figure are quite great, as wood has a tendency to crack and be impacted by changes in the atmosphere. Furthermore, the texture of wood is quite challenging, and great skill is required to capture the subtleties of facial expressions and features. A beautiful example for both its artistry and spiritual significance! Wire on back for suspension. Size: 11" L x 6.25" H (27.9 cm x 15.9 cm)
