AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cherub Playing a Lute by Rosso Fiorentino is a refined acrylic painting on linen canvas, inspired by the lyrical elegance of early Renaissance art. Fiorentino, known as one of the pioneering figures of early Mannerism, often infused his works with expressive emotion and dynamic composition. This artwork features a charming cherub delicately playing a lute, symbolizing innocence, harmony, and divine beauty—motifs frequently explored in Renaissance culture. Hand-painted with exceptional attention to detail, the piece captures the soft textures, warm color palette, and graceful atmosphere associated with Fiorentino’s artistic legacy. Presented in excellent condition, this artwork makes a sophisticated addition to any classical or art-historical collection.
