Two Cherubs (a detail of the Sistine
Madonna)
Raffaello Sanzio Raphael
c.1513-1514
Oil on panel. 265 x 196 cm
Dresden Gallery, Germany |
The
chubby bodies and the soft skin make the cherubs are appear
young and innocent, yet their focused stares and body positions
give them a sense of maturity. The cherub on the left appears
to be in deep thought as he stares upward to the Madonna and
Child, while the cherub on the right appears to look upon them
all, with graceful awe. |
