AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of oil paintings 'Cherubs', D. Berthault, Art Nouveau, 1922 – France
Technique on support: oil on canvas.
Cherubs
Author: D. Berthault
Signed in the bottom left corner.
Style: Art Nouveau
Year: 1922
Good condition for its age and use.
Dimensions: 72 x 92 x 3 cm.
Impressive pair of canvases depicting two different scenes with winged cherubs or putti. The figures are presented in tondos, centered on the canvas, framed by floral garlands and crowned with a large bow. In one of the tondos, a pair of cherubs is shown, one looking directly at the viewer and the other kissing the first's cheek. In the second tondo, a single putto walks with his eyes blindfolded and a torch in hand. Both are dynamic compositions, with soft lines and delicate colors characterized by their expressive staging.
Signed by D. Berthault and dated 1922, thus placing it within the Art Nouveau period. The artistic approach to the use of putti in artworks during modernism was completely different from that of the Baroque. At that time, they were mainly used as decorative elements, always integrated into floral and vegetal designs. Putti are reinvented with a more ornamental and less cluttered character, integrating into an ornamental pattern with a general artistic narrative, such as a boiserie. The image of Cupid comes from the evolution of Cupid / Eros, who during the Renaissance transformed into putti. Cupid was the Roman god of love, son of Venus and Mars.
A great opportunity to acquire two refined artworks with great aesthetic value!
