GustaveDoreParadiseLostSatanProfile.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Putto. A putto (plural putti, /ˈpʊti/ or POO-tee)[1] is a figure in a work of art depicted as a chubby male child, usually nude and sometimes winged. Putti are commonly mistaken with, yet are completely unrelated to, cherubim. In the plural, "the Cherubim" refers to the biblical angels, which have four heads of different species and several pairs of wings. While "cherubs" represent the second order of angels,[2] putti are secular and present a non-religious passion.[3] However, in the Baroque period of art, the putto came to represent the omnipresence of God.[3] A putto representing a cupid is also called an amorino (plural amorini).
Etymology[edit] The more commonly found form putti is the plural of the Italian word putto. The Italian word comes from the Latin word putus, meaning "boy" or "child".[4] Today, in Italian, putto means either toddler winged angel or, rarely, toddler boy. Revival of the putto in the Renaissance[edit] Where to find putti[edit] Iconography of the putto[edit] Cherub. Virgin and child with cherubim A cherub (/ˈtʃɛrəb/;[1] also pl. cherubim; Hebrew כְּרוּב, pl. כְּרוּבִים, English trans kərūv, pl. kərūvîm, dual kərūvāyim Latin cherub[us], pl. cherubi[m], Syriac ܟܪܘܒܐ), is a winged angelic being who is considered to attend on the Abrahamic God in biblical tradition. The concept is represented in ancient Middle Eastern art as a lion or bull with eagles' wings and a human face, and regarded in traditional Christian angelology as an angel of the second highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy.[2] Cherubim are mentioned throughout the Hebrew Bible and once in the New Testament in reference to the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant (Hebrews 9:5).
Origins[edit] A pair of shedu, protecting a doorway (the body of the creatures extending into the distance) Early Semitic tradition conceived the cherubim as guardians devoid of human feelings whose duty was to represent the gods and guard sanctuaries from intruders.

Leonardo da Vinci Annunciation.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. List of works by Leonardo da Vinci. The Last Supper This is a list of paintings and other works attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, (baptised Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci) ( pronunciation ), (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519), one of the leading artists of the High Renaissance. Fifteen works are generally attributed either in whole or in large part to him, most of his paintings on panel but including a mural, a large drawing on paper and two works in the early stages of preparation.
A further six paintings are disputed, there are seven recently attributed works, and two are copies of lost work. The small number of surviving paintings is due in part to Leonardo's frequently disastrous experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination.

Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (Italian pronunciation: [leoˈnardo da vˈvintʃi] Leonardo is revered for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualised flying machines, a tank, concentrated solar power, an adding machine,[6] and the double hull, also outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics.
Relatively few of his designs were constructed or were even feasible during his lifetime,[nb 2] but some of his smaller inventions, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. [nb 3] He made important discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics, but he did not publish his findings and they had no direct influence on later science.[7] Life Childhood, 1452–66 Leonardo's earliest known drawing, the Arno Valley (1473), Uffizi Verrocchio's workshop, 1466–76 Professional life, 1476–1513 Leonardo da Vinci's very accurate map of Imola, created for Cesare Borgia. Old age, 1513–19. Caprichos. No. 43, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters Los Caprichos are a set of 80 aquatint prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya in 1797 and 1798, and published as an album in 1799.
The prints were an artistic experiment: a medium for Goya's condemnation of the universal follies and foolishness in the Spanish society in which he lived. The criticisms are far-ranging and acidic; he speaks against the predominance of superstition, the ignorance and inabilities of the various members of the ruling class, pedagogical short-comings, marital mistakes and the decline of rationality. Some of the prints have anticlerical themes. The work was an enlightened, tour-de-force critique of 18th-century Spain, and humanity in general. Goya added brief explanations of each image to a manuscript, now in the Museo del Prado; these help greatly to explain his often cryptic intentions, as do the titles printed below each image.

Biography[edit] Early years[edit] Francisco de Goya -supposed self-portrait Goya was born in Fuendetodos, Aragón, Spain, on 30 March 1746 to José Benito de Goya y Franque and Gracia de Lucientes y Salvador.
His family lived in a home bearing the family crest of his mother. He then relocated to Rome, where in 1771 he won second prize in a painting competition organized by the City of Parma. Goya married Bayeu's sister Josefa (he nicknamed her "Pepa") on 25 July 1773. Mid-career[edit] In 1783, the Count of Floridablanca, a favorite of Charles III of Spain, commissioned Goya to paint his portrait. Goya received orders from many of the Spanish nobility. At some time between late 1792 and early 1793, a serious illness (the exact nature of which is not known) left Goya deaf, and he became withdrawn and introspective.
Later years[edit] French forces invaded Spain in 1808, leading to the Peninsular War of 1808–1814. Not much is known about her beyond her fiery temperament. Work[edit] Maja[edit]
