A Pair of Paintings
ALLEGORICAL DEPICTIONS OF PUTTI ON THE SUBJECT OF “AIR”

Oil on canvas.
42 x 32.5 cm.

The paintings were created as pendants. Each work of oval format with a densely braided floral wreath of spring and summer flowers such as tulips, carnations, anemones, roses, heavenly blues and shrub flowers, set against a dark background. At the centre of each wreath a group of putti are engaged in play, lit strikingly from the side. In one painting they are playing with wind mills, in the other with bubbles. Each group consists of four putti captured in movement, one of which is illuminated distinctly. The painting technique of the highest quality whereby the design idea was pioneered by famous painters such as Abraham Brueghel.
